The last week of school

The last week of school was FULL ON--so many events, so many emotions. This is the first year in which I didn't have a countdown to the last day. Who knew I would get so attached?

June started with taking the 8th graders to watch Men in Black. We piled up all 80+ plus kids into two school buses and went to the World
Cup CGV. We watched the movie and then had lunch. The kids liked the fact that the first MIB came out when I was their age. :) "The galaxy defenders!" PS: I really like the Pit Bull song on the soundtrack.

That same night, I headed to the Seoul Hyatt for the Centennial Gala celebration. We danced all night, as usual.

The following day, Kristen and I met up with some of our girls for a Seoul
Tour through their eyes. We ate, shopped, took goofy pictures and had a blast! This was definitely one of my favorite days in Korea.

Saturday night was the last House of Glitter event. We had pizza, played like children at the playground and finished with a dance party and a game of hide and seek in my classroom.


The work-week started by heading to Daecheon Beach for the retreat. We were there Monday through Wednesday. It was exhausting but a lot of fun. I love my kiddos!

The last two days of school were an emotional roller coaster. My kids were so sweet to me- writing me heartfelt letters, hugging me and even making me cry. Again, how did I get so attached?

And just like that, the school year ended. Through tears and laughter, I hugged my kiddos and waved bye to the buses.

The afternoon included a nice lunch with my 8th grade team ( thanks for the sweet words and meaningful gifts). That night, MELKs ( S for Stan) went out for Chimek and dancing. What a great way to end an amazing school year.
