Change is hard.

Everyone is celebrating. It is the last day of school. I want to celebrate but it is bittersweet this year. For the past ten plus years I've taught next to Melissa Feeley. I've learned more from her than I ever could have imagined. I've grown as a person... I feel like we've grown up together in our teaching and in our life. We've been through small things like room changes to big things like marriages, kids, vacations. I can read her face like a book and we can communicate with each other with a simple head nod or half sentence. I'm feeling somewhat like a lost puppy. I don't know if I remember how to do this teaching thing without her. Moreso though, I'm going to miss our everyday chats about our lives. No one can come close to filling her shoes.
I'm happy for her  I'll just be here feeling super anxious about next year and wondering what my future holds.
As for math in motion, I'll have to think hard this summer about whether the blog should continue. Life took hold of us both this year and we weren't the greatest about updating as much. I'll still be in the Steelcase Active Learning Center next year but without knowing who I'll be teaching with I can't say what the future holds for the blog, instagram and twitter.
