The empty room

Each year seems to begin and ends with an empty classroom and it always reminds me of the possibilities....

Each year is a new beginning, new hopes & dreams... new goals and passions...

I leave the classroom excited for my next adventure, but sad to leave these students & community behind. They have really expanded my world and I hope that I have done the same for them...

Will I see them again? I sure hope so, I'd love to see if they meet their beginning of the year goals to play basketball and get scholarships... I hope one of my students stays interested in coding and decides to go to Stanford like he talked about... I hope that they stay engaged and creative...

The first year I was in the preschool classroom was 2004 and I still wonder about those students... Each one affects you and becomes a part of you... I am so grateful to have met them and learned from them all...
