No More Magic Door

So I haven't quite FalLeN off the face of the earth...at least not yet. I've just been consumed by Mobile #5 and the 31 little darlings inside. Here's a picture of my dad and Dan checking out my MoBiLe back in August...
Dan suggested that I announce to the parents at curriculum night that class in the mobile will begin at 10 a.m. and end promptly at 2:00 p.m..... He's brilliant basically :)

I'm enjoying my 31, and of course I absolutely love teaching the BeSt grade EvEr...FifTh, but I am missing my dear friends at Spring Trail and the students and families there.

What follows is a photo of how extremely sad I am to not have my friend LiZ next door to me this year.


Every day I drink from this beautiful cup that she passed on to me when I was leaving last year.
It was given to her from the wonderful teacher who retired and left Spring Trail before I arrived, and every time I drink from it I remember how Liz could always make me laugh on really difficult days, took care of me when I needed a rain coat or to be told to go home, let me unload my life, and made sure I kept wearing HeEls and BliNg...She's amazing, and I miss her terribly.
I'm so grateful for the privilege of teaching on her team and sharing the MaGiC door between our classrooms for a time. Having a new job is a blessing, but it's just not the same without her...I miss you Liz!

  3. Ah, Katie, I feel the same way about my former supervisor, Kathryn. I miss working with her on a daily basis. (What a pretty cup, though.)

  4. I miss your posts and pictures. This blog reminded me of you http://www.aholyexperience.com/ because of the pictures and all-encompassing life purpose. What do you think of it?
