School's Out For Summer!

How can 180 days have gone by so fast? I swear I spent the last 4 weeks counting down the days until I could send them out the door and on to fourth grade! So why is it so hard to say good bye to them? With lots of tears I sent my little family of 18 out the door into a new world where I will not be. Who will feed them breakfast and tell them that they are smart, talented, not a booger eater, etc.? This really has been the greatest group of kids that I have ever had and they have taught me so many great things. I will miss each and every one of them--even the naughty ones.
