Today was a very bittersweet day. It was the last day of my first placement in student teaching. My experience has been absolutely incredible and leaving was really tough. Today is a good day, though. Today I received multitudes of letters (90+) full of fond memories of the last 8 weeks. One 11 year-old young lady wrote me the following:

Mrs. Lilyfestre

The woman who I know made learning a lot less difficult for some people.
The lady who taught me so much, opptamism (her spelling!), happiness and joy.
The Person who always seemed to have something good to say.
The Student Teacher who was THE BEST!!

There were many others that made me realize exactly how big of an impact I had on the children and in more ways than I had anticipated.      The love they showed me today was amazing and that makes today a FANTASTIC (said in 6th grade fashion....you had to be there!) day!!!!
