We should be celebrating, right? Well, Emily was really dreading this day. Mrs. Watson has an amazing gift for relating to 5th graders, while effectively teaching. She called them her 'darlings'. She is moving to Edgewood to take a teaching job as a reading specialist. Emily was afraid she would never see Mrs. Watson again! I had to spend the entire afternoon consoling Emily.
She had a fabulous year. After major anxiety over changing schools, Emily ended up fitting in quite well. She made some great new friends and accomplished a lot! She was runner up in her school spelling bee, 2nd Place Media Fair winner, both at the local and state level, 1st Place mileage winner (a running award) and A Honor Roll. This year provided many teaching moments, as well. It's amazing how the Lord weaves intricately the parts of our lives, those we come in contact with and our circumstances for a greater purpose.
'For you know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future' Jeremiah 29:11
