[quote=Anonymous]I'm OP re-upping this thread since we are heading into the last part of the school year.

Your kids have grown so much. I can't believe these are the same hooligans who entered my class in August. Then again, considering one ordered a pizza to our field trip site the other day, maybe I can. :D

(I had to try to be serious about it but I was laughing my head off. These kids just tickle me to death.)

They're chafing a bit more these days at boundaries and restrictions. They are *so close* to graduation and freedom. They can reach out and touch it. I remind them to look forward to the future but enjoy the time at home too. Never again will they get to be a child living daily life in their home with their nuclear family. And to be mindful that for their parents this is a very poignant time in life.

They are on the verge of such a wonderful precipice. Their whole lives lie ahead- a vast veldt of opportunity and experience and wonder and pain. What a gift it is to experience that sense of possibility again through their eyes. They still have every chance in the work to be anyone they want to be, to do anything at all they want to.

You're still doing a good job. This is a bittersweet time of year as we face the end of our time together and you move one step closer to them leaving. I get it. [/quote]
