today is the last day of school!!!!! the kids were here for 1/2 day and we had a great lunch and closing ceremony. this is the greatest building to teach in. it is always alot of fun and the kids are always entertaining. we are losing 2 great teachers this year. one, jenny vanderpool, is retiring after 25+ years in math. they had a great buy out package and she took it before they started a new book and math curriculium...smart girl. she is a true christian woman. the other one leaving molly preuss is taking time off to raise her girls. what a fun thing to do. they will be missed.

i am spending my last day cleaning up my room. it looks so lifeless. no kids or fun things on the walls. that's kids in the class and stuff on the walls! we have summer school here and you never know what will sill be here when you return. it was rather anticlimatic to see the 7th and 8th graders off on the busses today. 2 months and they'll be roaring to go again.

i leave for france in 5 days! i still haven't found out how to import a picture. i have 4 days to figure it out. i have the last things to do here then it's home to get the trip ready!
