Just a few photos of my last day at work (with permission given from the parents of the children featured - they were stoked to be asked!). I had a lovely day and was spoilt rotten - a few gift cards - Whitcoulls from my last senior teacher, Kmart from one of the Mums, and a number of parents had generously put in and I have a gift card to be used at any garden shop, for two hundred and thirty dollars, I so need that don't I Vicki and Heidi (the new house is all ready for some serious landscaping). Lots of boxes of chocolates, some lovley placques with beautiful sayings and some gorgeous jewllery. I also got a boy and girl charms for my Pandora bracelet from the two other teachers - very appropriate. There were lots of laughs and lots of tears this morning and less tears this afternoon (many of my morning families I am teaching the third child of one family and you are closer to your morning families just because you have had the kids for longer and so know them really well.
Right I'd better not hang round on here - back online next week (if Telecom play the game LOL!)
