Changing of the Guards

We were sad to say goodbye to our wonderful first grade teacher, Mr. Hockeystick!  SG enjoyed the year so much!  We did too!    SG brought to our attention that beyond teaching, Mr. HS  was funny, creative, clever, and made some really great pancakes!  We heard about the pancakes for quite awhile after the dishes were cleared!   It seems our elementary school is filled with superheroes of many sorts!  Many, many thanks to you Mr. HS!  You are a fantastic teacher and your students next year are blessed to have you!

Riding on the emotional roller coaster of goodbyes we added hellos to 2nd grade!  

"I heard Mrs. #42 is the best!  (#42 is not her age, in case you were guessing!) Did you know that?  Did you know she can play basketball? Did you know she plays games?  I can't believe I got Mrs. #42!  Did you know she does a play with her class?  She can act too!  totally!  It's going to be so great!  Did you know Mrs. #42 smiles a lot?  Did you know that she is funny?  And she can leap buildings in a single bound, is a ballroom dancer, and is a part-time magician-veterinarian-ventriloquist-artist?" Okay, maybe not the last sentence is a quote, but wow!  

Oh how we've heard about the 2nd grade teacher today... into the night!  It's wonderful knowing that he is excited about going to school on his last day of first grade!  Enjoy these lovely praises of joy now, Mrs. #42, for the first time you assign homework, we'll be there to comfort you as you will no longer be the Princess of Education, but you'll always be a good friend!  We'll love you no matter how many spelling words, sentences, and math problems you send home for us to do!  You truly are a great teacher, but I'm not sure about the leaping buildings part! The magician-veterinarian-ventriloquist-artist, I might believe!  

~Here's to another year!  but let's enjoy the Summer first!~
