Fun Photo Friday

     There are such simple pleasures yet important treasures that come along with the wonderful job I have.  Here are two.

     So sweet.  Do you like how she switched from printing to cursive? (Third graders are nuts about showing off their cursive!) The "fun" part is, I have no idea what grade level I'll be teaching next year. I'd love to stay in fourth, I'd love to loop to fifth with this group, but with proposed budget cuts, I'm just fortunate and blessed to know I'll have a job.  One thing I've learned this year, my first in a new grade after a decade in the old one, I'm capable of more than I once thought.
     Change is good.  We shall see...
