The kids at school are INSANE.
I don't know what happened to my happy little class! They are still such sweet and funny kids, but it's like they all have spring fever. They have never been a class of squirmy worms, and that is the only way to describe them now! It's funny though, I actually think I remember during student teaching that the same thing happened. I think kids and teachers both start getting antsy around this time of year, and are pretty much just ready for a break!
That being said, I know it is going to be VERY hard for me to finish out this school year. Not because they are being crazy, not being it's a lot of work, not because we have a lot left to do. Nope. It is going to be SO hard to finish, because I am going to miss these crazy critters so much next year! If you really stop and think about it, an elementary school teacher spends 7 hours a day with these kids. 5 days a week. That's 35 hours a week that I spend with these kids NONSTOP. I feel like I know them so well, and I have definitely gotten attached. I am going to have a rough time on the last day of school. They are crazy, but they are seriously awesome.
I totally get that. I was surprised at the end of the year how well I felt like I knew my estudiantes, and I only have them for an average of about 45 minutes a day.
