Today is it, the last day of my
teaching career. The elementary principal has been on me all week
about planting the new shrubs and perennials with my Horticulture
class around the elementary. I thought today is the last day to get
it done, so I took my two students down to the elementary. It's only
a short walk away, so we didn't loose a lot of time traveling. We
planted until it was already past 2nd hour. I had a
special ed teacher in my classroom all semester, so she covered my
2nd hour class. I was disappointed that I didn’t get to
say goodbye to them. I sent my 1st hour girls back to
class, and then I had my 3rd and 4th hour
classes come down to finish the planting. We got it done just in
time.

I also found a student that could have
her mom come in with a tractor to pull the buggy wagon full of
fertilizer to apply to the field. Her daughter rode with her to show
her where to go. It all worked out really well. Planting is scheduled
for Saturday if the weather holds out.
A former student came in to my
greenhouse to buy flowers. She reminded me why I started teaching, to
help kids. Now she’s already applying to vet school. She’s one of
my success stories, so I’m glad she stopped by.
I know I made the right choice because
I won't have to worry about liability issues when students drive
machinery on school grounds.
