Graduating Class of 2009

One of my students, Jordan, mailed me a high school graduation announcement this week. Wow! I feel really old. I am also proud and excited for my students. Although it's been a lifetime it seems since I taught them 4th and 5th grade, I still feel a connection to them. I am thrilled at their success. I can hardly wait to hear about all they do and become. I'm sure one day I'll be saying, "I taught famous 'so and so'. Can you believe it?" Then I can go buy their book or movie or just hear about what great families they have. Congratulations class of 2009! Keep me posted. You are all loved!
