This is why I do this . . .

And no I’m not talking about summer break! The last couple days were tough since I wasn’t able to be at 8th grade promotion or really see off my 8th graders. But one of my 7th grade girls brought this in to me on Wednesday and it has to be one of the more touching notes I have received in recent memory if not ever. She was one of those “tough nut to crack” types at the start of the year, sitting in the back of the room refusing to work arms crossed and nasty look on her face. Slowly but surely we seemed to make a little connection but she still wouldn’t work. I don’t remember exactly when it happened but she finally started tuning in and making an effort. Anyway, this is the card she gave me on Thursday along with a bunch of balloons! I figured I’d better get it online just in case anything happens to it. It’s done on posterboard so I’m not quite sure how I’m going to store it! :)
