It's funny how I'm highly motivated to blog only when I should be doing other important things, like packing for my holiday that starts in about two hours. It will be get done...but first, I have to reflect slightly on my last day of student teaching:
01) "Dear Miss Fisher, Thank you for helping us. Well done for passing your test and I'm sure the girls will be crying when you leave. I really enjoyed Talking Textiles." And the girls did cry, along with two boys. The girl who gave me the most trouble sobbed into my blouse for about five minutes, which made some girls unhappy, for they had less room to hug/cling on to me. Standing there as a human tissue, I was astonished at their reactions.
02) Dear Miss Fisher, I hope you enjoy being a teacher in your new school. I really enjoyed what you have been teaching us. I hope you can come back and visit." My kids kept asking me when I could come back for a visit. Little do they know a visit would cost me $1200 roundtrip. I did tell them, however, that the next time I was in the UK I would be visiting Northway first. That's the honest-to-God truth, and that might be sooner than I originally anticipated (but more on that day another day).
03) "Miss Fisher -- Thank you for everything you have done for us these few months. We really appreciate it. We are so so so so so sad you are leaving, but we will always remember you in our hearts. Good Luck in life!" The two boys who gave me the hardest time made a three-foot tall Easter card asking me not to leave. I figured these two boys hated my guts, because most of the time I was cracking down on them. I didn't realize they actually cared.
04) Dear Miss Fisher, we really don't want you to go. We have learned lots of new things with you while you have been here, like that alien lesson that we did. I really enjoyed that. See you soon." I miss Northway already, and I haven't even been gone for 24 hours. It's amazing to see my effect as a teacher, and vice versa. All the work, all the hours...it was all worth it.
Jetsetting to Spain -- expect a post documenting my holiday/the last few weeks at Northway in the near future. Cheers.
