Here is a link to the end of year slideshow. Sorry I could not be at the awards ceremony. I created the show to express my affection and thanks to all of you for such a great year. I am way behind in my writing of thank you notes . . . I hope to catch up soon. Thank you for the party and the gifts and the cards and the letters and the email . . . Thank you for everything! I hope the slideshow illustrates that we all had a great year!!!!!!

To My First Period Seventh Graders,

Thank you. You made my day every day. We laughed AND made progress every day. You arrived with energy and good humor and you left the same way. My only regret is that we didn’t do more; I should have answered more fake phonecalls during class from Ian’s mom and Mr. Hertrick, I should have asked my doctor for other prescription pills for things like outlines and homework too, we should have gone to Liquid together more often—not just on Ladies’ Night (although, boy, the drink specials are really good on Ladies’ Night, right?), we should have listened to the radio more often. We should have had Omar imitate things like water fountains and fire earlier in the year.

Pps. The substitute is really great. She is nice and very smart. You will like her. I had not met her yet when I saw you on Friday.

No substitute could ever do half as good a job as you did. I'll try not to confuse her too much, but I make no promises!
