They look so happy and healthy and safe, Beth. Must have an excellent teacher. Did you notice that the girls in your class once again are the most assertive – one standing on the fence and another on a big rock – while the boys are busy checking out the ground.

It depends on the group but girls have the gift of early verbal skills- gives them power-

Ummm, that’s right – I’m so used to seeing the suppression of adult women (in wages and promotion, etc.) that I forgot that girls develop faster than boys. Good point.

Must be a bittersweet moment knowing some of your students are moving on in the next school year.

The end of a school year is always so poignant. We have several elementary teachers in the family, including one who’s taught kindergarten classes. It’s a marker in these children’s lives. As much as we enjoy seeing them grow up, we sometimes wish we could keep them forever young.

Congratulations! My wife Heidi and and I celebrated “Last Day” last night. She’ll be teaching summer school this year with most of the same children from her class but gets a break before then, so “Last Day” is nearly all sweet for her instead of bittersweet.

This is a huge deal, it would seem. The gang gather together for one last hang-out session, before they slide off into their summer. I wonder if these types of ceremonies catch a tender place in your own heart ….
