Last Day of School Bliss

9am - Birthday cupcakes.
(Got to squeeze in one last birthday celebration before the school year's over.)

10:30am - Room Parents' treat for the teachers: Jumbo Jamba Juice
11:00 am - I made the kids a Thunder Cake, as in Patrica Pollaco's Thunder cake. They were grossed out that the recipe called for 1/3 cup of pureed tomatoes. I had a few takers.

11:45am - Dismissal. They surprised me with a book of letters they'd written to me. I surprised them by telling them that 'Accampo' was not my real last name. It's always fun to mess with 2nd graders.

Employment update: Despite my pink slip earlier this year, I was recently rehired by the district. Same school, same grade, same teaching partner for next year.

I am grateful.

I don't think there is anything better than a jumbo Jamba Juice that you didn't have to pay for. Excellent. Congrats on finishing another year. Now hurry and enjoy the summer.
