Well my rough week is finally over and it doesn’t look like there will be anything even close to that coming up this month.  I’m very thankful for that and am looking forward to working at a slower pace again.

It’s hard to believe that this school year is almost over.  I’ve been having a lot of my “final lessons” with my third year students, and it’s always a sad thought to me.  I don’t get to visit any of my schools more than once or twice a month, but the students still are important to me in their own way.  I’m worried about how some of them will fair in high school, and others I’m confident are bound for success.  Whichever category they in, I just hope they continue to do their best.

The saddest thing I had to come to terms with this month, in regards to teaching, was that, for some of my students, this would be their last English lesson ever.  I thought that was kind of sad, because these students always seemed to be the least inhibited about putting themselves out there in English class and always seemed to be enjoying the class activities.  I’m sad to hear that they’re not going to be able to continue with those classes they loved so much, and I hope that I made their last exposure to English a positive one that they’ll remember well.
