My Preschool Retirement

I have LOVED teaching preschool in my home for the last 10 years. This year I had a very interesting class. I had a mix of super cute lovely kids and a few high maintenance kids, that kept me on my toes. I loved it because I had my sweet nephew Jace with me and my sister in law Cathryn came to help everyday. I don't know what I would have done without Cathryn's help. I think I told her everyday, that I don't know how I had taught for the last 9 years with out help. I don't really know why, but I decided that this would be my last year teaching. I have had a strong feeling that I need to get my teaching certificate up to date and see where life takes me. So, I packed up all of my preschool belongings, sent a whole truck load to DI and retired. I am still having reservations about it and really hope that I made the right decision. Below are some pictures of my class as well as my Favorite Santa Claus. He was the father of my dear friend, Josie Platts who has 7 children and I had all of them but the baby in my preschool classes. I will miss them dearly. Santa Claus is pictured with my nephew Jace as well as a picture of Cathryn, Jace and I at our preschool graduation.
