Wow, what a day. Miss Mellinger's last day brought with it one party preceded by some sneaky work on the part of the kids in signing the chair from the class as a gift to her. Then, after lunch, we had another great party thanks to Mrs. Hurdle, Mrs. Zimmer, Mr. and Mrs. Pitz, and Mrs. Owens. They kept the kids busy for the last hour of the day--no easy feat on the day before the Thanksgiving break. They made Oreo turkeys, played games, and brought with them awesome pictures from Camp Tecumseh. I am so thankful for our room parents!
The excitement didn't end there! After school, at about 4:30, a burnt bag of popcorn sent the fire alarms into a tizzy and we found out that there were about three teachers left at the school--along with the after school program who were all lined up outside and taking attendance. The fire department made an appearance and everything. It was a pretty crazy pre-turkey day.
I told Miss Mellinger that I would post the letter she wrote to the kids here on the blog, but of course that was left at school. I will do so next week.
For now, just know that I am thankful for the opportunity I have to teach your kids as well as all your support as I do so. Enjoy your days with your families tomorrow, and rest up--we've got a lot of learning to do and no time to slow down when the kids get back on Monday.
Happy Thanksgiving!
