Bittersweet

Last night was incredibly weird.

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary at first, I was just hanging out with my friends and watching our Sunday night shows.  But all of a sudden, a wave of anxiety hit me.  "WHAT ABOUT MY LESSON PLANS FOR TOMORROW???"  Then it hit me: I'm not teaching tomorrow.  What a weird feeling.

I finished up all my classes last week and ended my week with a visit to another elementary.  Wow, talk about an experience!  They have 6 Spanish teacher (since this school is an IB program school) and they all work together to get their kids to the highest level of Spanish they can.  It was really awesome to see, especially coming from a school where there are 3 Spanish teachers but they all teach different preps.  I was blown away by how much the kids know and how much technology they get to use.  It was really cool.

This morning it has been sad not teaching "my" kids, but I am enjoying some extra time to sit back and reflect on this crazy, life-changing semester.  More on that later.  Also, my kids are filling out an evaluation about how i did, so I am anxious to read those and hear what they had to say!  Also, more on that later :)

Anyways, I am taking today to organize what I need to get done on my portfolio, saying goodbye to the kids and giving them the eval, and taking my first breath since I began to teach. :)
