good byes and good riddances

 My last day with the kiddies was on Thursday and Friday was just a clean up day. It was cute because J* came in to say bye to me. Though most kids said their goodbyes in class, he was especially funny. We had a couple rough patches during the year where he thought I was picking on him. Well, he came in during his 15 minute break with his buddies and awkwardly and quietly said bye. He did make eye contact but was acting different. I think he realized that we would miss each other and I really do like him a lot. He is really smart but just likes to mess around too.

Other memorable goodbyes are from my 3rd period class. About 6-7 of them joined in on a group hug with me in the middle. I felt squished and happy. I hope they all come visit me next year. I'll be full time and teaching 9th and 11th graders.
