For my last post, I’ll talk about my last day of working at the school.  When I first got there, all the kids already knew it was my last day, so they gave me really big hugs.  I mean big, obnoxious hugs.  Second graders may be short, but they’re powerful in hugging groups!  I could barely stand.  Anways…

 We started out with the usual morning work and I went around to help them if they raised their hands.  My mom warned me that they would be particularly distracted today, as they usually are on holidays or any other special days.  She was right!  During morning work,  think I might have answered only one question about their work.  Most of the questions were about when I was going to come back and visit, or if I liked IU (NO), or if I was married or had any kids.  Although the questions about marriage freaked me out a little big (Am I really that old?), I felt really loved! 

During lunchtime, I ate at the cafeteria with the kids instead of in the teacher lounge or in the classroom like I usually did.  I had fun hanging out with the little kids!  It makes me really excited for my nannying job this summer; I miss hanging out with little kiddos! 

The rest of the day went basically as normal, and at the end of the day, they all presented me with drawings and cards they made for me!  They were so sweet.  If I can figure out how to upload a picture on here of them I will!  They are adorable and I can’t wait to go back.   I’m really glad I chose to do my service here!
