I love how you gave a reassuring message here and a means of reflecting on how good change can be. I too am already thinking of fall, but can smell the beach and have considered sprinkling sand in my shoes!Betsy Hubbardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10492340502962987362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-6083875724892928272012-05-23T19:09:28.177-04:002012-05-23T19:09:28.177-04:00I so needed to read this!

Yes, there is much that I can still do to prepare them for what lies ahead...and thank you for the inspiring words to help me do so, Mary Lee.Tara @ A Teaching Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07195982194362559883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-10679055901959680632012-05-23T12:27:43.137-04:002012-05-23T12:27:43.137-04:00What a thought-filled post, Mary Lee.

I like this part: "Remind them that when you move from teacher to teacher, you carry them all with you -- you never really leave a favorite teacher behind." I think students will like hearing that! It's like that Cisneros piece when she celebrated her birthday. She became 10 (or 11?) & felt all the years stacked under her new age.
