The Start and The End

The summer is finally here!! We have survived Ashlynn going to Kindergarten and Murray going to preschool. Summer is upon us and we made it up to the lake recently. Here are some pics of the kids at the cottage enjoying some swimming and fishing!!

And Koen too!! The end of the school year. I have to say that I couldn't have asked for a better first teaching job. The kid's and staff were awesome and I had so much fun. Sadly, I will not be back next year. They had to do some major lay offs in the district and because they elminated my position that meant there really was no where for me to go. But I will keep my fingers crossed that something could happen over the summer to open up a position for me. Things will work out how they are meant and I will be exactly where I should be next year. Whether that is at home again, teaching in another district or back where I am now but in a different job. Here is a picture of one of my last lesson's I did with the kid's. They spent a week writing poetry and when they completed all the poems they went outside to "publish" their poems on the sidewalk with chalk! Talk about fun!! ALL of them loved it!!
