7/6/11: This is the final post for the Desert Duck. I removed the “bus” post because it seems fitting to end with this moment of closure, the empty classroom. I will be in the building next year, and have a Promethean board to boot! I will also be right across the hall from my friend Suzanne!

Thank you for following along the last four years! If you want to follow me elsewhere, this is my writing blog and this is my fledgling teacher blog. Keep in touch!

5/27/11: These are my official “empty classroom” pictures. I am hoping that this is my last experience with the portables. I want to be In The Building next year, especially with a Promethan board! Imagine — indoor plumbing, not worrying that my classroom door is unlocked, not worrying when my kids go to the bathroom, not worrying about someone trying to burn down my classroom …

The maroon thing in this picture next to the closet door is a curtain. That is a second closet, and it had no door. It kept bugging me, so I hung up a curtain.

Kid Pics

I gave my students my camera on the last day of school, and they took turns taking pictures. You’ll notice one ham in particular, if you go to the link to see all of the photos. They took a ton, so I’m just going to post some of them here.
