Teachers cry too!!!

My school has been having a major growth spurt this year and we have been adding kids like crazy!!

Well a week ago my principal announced that we were adding a 1st grade unit. In January!!
that hasnt happened in many years! So we all had to give a few kids to start up the new class.
I only had to give 2 but some of my teammates had to give 4!!! We had to give our best, no behavior or academic problems. Which believe it or not after having these kids for 95 days it's hard to give any of them away! Even the ones that get bad notes every day!!
So we brought the kids to their new teacher today and we all sat in a circle and talked about how exciting this whole thing will be and that they were special to be chosen in the new class and then it happened... one little girl started crying... well eventually all the adults 6 of us were crying too!! We muddled thru, to keep a smiling face for the kids but it was so hard!!
So if your kids have ever had to change teachers, please know that it is super hard for the teachers to give up those little darlings too!!!
