some Nutcrackers, Reindeer,

and Gingerbread men, my favorite.

Joy.

The Final Week

Up ahead is my last full week of work, Monday through Friday. It seems unreal. Every year it hits me differently. Not many other jobs/careers have such endings and such flagrant beginnings, I suppose.

This year was marked by such a staggering number of student attendance problems, that just not having constant make-up work to redo with them will be an immeasureable relief to me. My multi-tasking capabilities took on a new dimension that I hope I never have to duplicate (to survive in the classroom). I much prefer to creatively teach in a new way each day, according to every child's needs, not hampered by the repetition of 5, whose parents choose not to have them show up (There. I'm done ranting). And, splattering paint and inks felt great!

 And, because I am enjoying participating in Kristin's Summer of Color...which is celebrating green this week, with a bonus challenge to include citron (!), this journaling page plays along!

 I wasn't totally sure of citron, so when I Googled it, I got this (below) from homesweetbyhand.com/2010/03/subjective-color/ .

I am a lemon and lime lover, so this was right up my alley. Mmmmmmm. yummy colors! {I love green}.

Have a great week everyone, and thanks for visiting me. I do appreciate you.♥

Thank you Green Friday!

Green has always been my favorite color. Even when I was a little girl, I'd open that brand new, beautiful box of sharp crayons...and go for the green one.

And, as you can probably tell, I love all of the natural greens outdoors. Someday I hope to go to Ireland to experience the rolling hills of green in person.

Happy Friday everybody! TGIF!
