Dismissal Time

Dismissing the kiddies at the end of the day is always bittersweet.

Bitter because... okay, fine maybe not so bitter. Haha.

Sweet because...

There is a great sense of tranquility and peace once the kiddies leave for the day. 

There is something VERY peaceful about a classroom that was ONCE bustling with ALL kinds of noise and learning that is NOW completely empty and quiet!

All the chairs have been put up,

pencils have been lost, 

and pieces of paper remain on the floor for the custodian to sweep away. 

After school hours is when I do my best teacher thinking, I think.

I love an empty classroom!  

Do you?
