Sunshine on a Cloudy Day!!

Today was my student teacher's last day!!  :(  I'm super sad, because she is awesome--no really--AWESOME!!!!!  I know a lot of teachers say that about their student teachers, but she's a rare jewel!  She just "gets it"!  I never had to ask her to do anything, she just seemed to know what I needed and she just did it!  So, Steph, if you are reading this----I don't know what I'm going to do without you next week!!

Anyway, I'm sad to see her go!  My kiddos are too.  One little sweetie kept staring her down at lunch today with a sad puppy-dog face!  It was too cute/pitiful!  They wrote the sweetest things about her in her "All About Mrs. Stephanie" book.  One student congratulated her on her 'gratuashun' next week!  LOL
