Well tomorrow is the day!

Well tomorrow will be my last day as a kindergarten teacher (at least for awhile who knows what the future holds). It is also my last day working with my Fairfield Primary family. Both of these are very difficult things to say goodbye to. I know I will be sad tomorrow when I say goodbye to my class of 19 5 and 6 year olds, when I say goodbye to people who I have been through a lot with, and when I say goodbye to the Little School with the Big Heart.
I am hopeful that after the sadness of moving on is over I can then be happy about this change which I think will be a good one. 

CHANGE IS HARD, BUT CAN BE FOR THE GOOD. 

Wish me luck tomorrow (that don’t cry all day)!

The paths we take

I have significantly mixed emotions about this post. After much thought and consideration I have decided that this will be my last year at the school I have taught at for the last 7+ years. These people are like my family and we have shared so many memories together. 

In the end I needed to do what was best for myself and my family. The thought of not being a kindergarten teacher anymore bring tears to my eyes. Where else can I wear my ruby red shoes and tiara and no one think (or say out loud) how strange I am? Where else will sweet little students write me notes like this:

                                              

I will miss the Little School with the Big Heart with all my heart, but my path is taking me to a different place.

The place that my path is taking me is to become a Resource Room Teacher in in a small K-5 school. I have always loved working with students with special needs and I love teaching all students so I am hoping that this might be the perfect path for me. I am nervous, excited, and looking forward to a new challenge. 

I will continue to write this blog, but the name Kindergarten is Dazzling will need to be changed. So if there is anyone out there with a more creative idea than simple Mrs.Gower's Blog I would love to hear any names you can come up with.
