Time to say Goodbye ...

2007-11-28T20:21:00.000-03:00

Dear students,

After a very hectic year we've come to the end ... Yes, it's time to relax and have fun at the beach, in the mountains, lakes, or wherever you feel like it...
I'm really happy we could share so many thoughts, experiences ... You've worked really hard and it shows in the many post at the class blogs...
And as a way of closing this year up, here's a poems that describes this moment in our school days ... Enjoy it!

Hello, Summer! -- (A Last Day of School Poem)
by
Gregory K.

Goodbye classroom!
Goodbye Teach!
You can find me at the beach...
Or in the park or at the pool
Or any place that isn’t school.

Goodbye quizzes!
Bye, reports!
Hello days packed full of sports
And days when I’m just lazybones
While eating melty ice cream cones.

Goodbye homework --
Lunchroom, too.
There’s so, so much I wanna do.
I know the school year flew on past…
But please, please summer -- last and last.

(You can find this and other poems written by Gregory K. at his blog, http://gottabook.blogspot.com/)
