The Happy Mob
I guess I'm not the annoying nagging teacher I thot I was to my group of 25ish kindergartners. After being gone for over a week in D.C. I walked through the classroom door this morning and was barraged by a mob of screaming and hugging munchkins. Surprise! "MISS JOHNSO-----N!!!!!!!!" "MISS JOHNSO-----N!!!!!" "Are you back to stay??!!!" "I'm SOOOOOO glad you're here!!!!!!!!!" One boy in the middle of the mob (my favorite, of course, but shhhh!) even looked as if he was joyfully crying. I think he mighta been. Woe... And, then, later on a group of little girls dared ask if I was going to be their first grade teacher next yr. My response? "YEAH, RIGHT, LITTLE MUNCHKINS!!" No, really, I replied, much to their deep sorrow, that I would be in school, "just like YOU." "Awwwww! She'll be in SCHOOL next yr.!" they responded to eachother pouting. Made me feel pretty good, though, I must say! :)

School hasn't let out yet? Wow! When are you done for the summer? - Hey it was great to see you in VA. Sorry we couldn't visit longer!
Well, the skool has a summer program. And, I'm kinda like a teacher in it. Mostly the same kids I had during the yr. :)
Oh! Aug. 26 is my last day ... then it's packin' for college. Woo! Yeah, it was sooo great to see you, too! Hey, we got to hang out longer than we did last time. :) Maybe next time we can go touristing together! That'd be a blast! :D
