I will miss them so much. I am sad that I will not see them them next Monday. I am sad that I cannot influence them one last time. Sad that I cannot comfort them in times of trouble, that I cannot teach them one more time about grammar and phonics. I am sad that I will not be in their lives beyond some postcards and emails. I am sad that I cannot come to work and admire the progress that each one makes as they grow in so many ways. I will miss the times of laughter as they laugh at "T.K.'s big curly hair." or the times of tears when I have to so gently tell them, "Sorry, you cannot have break time." I will miss the quite hum of them working so diligently on the projects I assign them. Most of all I will miss how proud they are to show me their papers, drawings, awards, toys and share their lives with me. I love these kids and I will miss them so much.
I know that in God's Grace some how I will be remembered and I pray that my students will remember Jesus' love that I tried so hard to show them. It has been a tremendous year of growth for both my students and I. I will always remember Canyon Class.
