goodbye bulldogs...hello cubs!

In December I said goodbye to my sweet Bonham family. I'm going to miss both the teachers and students. This picture is of me with my first grade teaching team (except Deb, who couldn't be there) and the fun cake at the sweet going away party they had for me! Bonham is a wonderful school with teachers who love their students and go above and beyond the job requirements to meet their needs. I learned so much during my time at Bonham. I was there five and half years; it is the only place I've taught until now. This week, I'll begin a new teaching adventure. I got an interim job teaching fourth grade here in Hohenwald. I'm looking forward to a new challenge! Thanks to my time at Bonham and the wisdom I gained from veteran teachers, I feel equipped for the job. Sure, part of me is nervous to spend my days with ten year olds, rather than six and seven year olds, but mostly I'm excited! Bonham will always be home to me, since it was my first school, but I'm looking forward to becoming part of a new school family! I spent one day there last week and was greeted warmly. The kids are so mature and independent:) I'm thankful for this new opportunity!
