To say thank you to my girls, I spent about four hours baking cookies last night. It was a little difficult to find the ingredients I needed, so I ended up making a lot of substitutions and deletions. Here I am completely struggling to mix two ingredients together. I may or may not have broken the whisk.
Despite many difficulties, the cookies turned out quite delicious and looked pretty, even if they weren't exactly what I had initially planned. Look how yummy! Peanut butter blossoms and oatmeal raisin cookies.
When I got to my last classes, I was surprised with two different parties. In both classes, my girls decorated the room, bought or made me gifts, and brought in food. It was so sweet of them and I was really surprised. Because I can't post pictures of students, here are pictures of the rooms decorated and some of the food they brought in.
In 7th B, the girls decorated the whiteboard with messages for me.
So cute! They also all chipped in to buy me this stuffed dog, which they named Septimo B. Here's Gaby and I posing with him.
As you can see, typically healthy 7th grade fare: cheese balls, chips, candy, soda, and cake. P.S. Did you notice that the cake has my name on it? One of my favorite students baked that and brought it in. It was delicious!
Here's a sign that one of the girls made for me to decorate the classroom. She's another one of my favorites (even though I know teachers aren't supposed to have those) and she's really great at drawing.
While it was hard to say goodbye to the girls, I had a really fun last day with them. I got a ton of hugs, ate way too many sweets, and even participated in a Justin Bieber dance party. (I know, I know, but it was my last day. Oh well.)
I start teaching 8th and 9th grade on Monday, which is high school here. I hope the girls are as sweet as these girls are!
