Six weeks in Celebration already over???

I can't believe that I am already back from Celebration. The past six weeks flew by! This program has been a fantastic experience. I have stayed so busy teaching, writing lesson plans and sightseeing around Florida, but the experience has been worth it. I am always going to remember the school, my class, and all the friends I met here.
On leap day Magic Kingdom was open all night long so Vanessa, Christina, Hope, Joey and I all went to Magic Kingdom at 10 pm and stayed till about 1:30 am. It was such a fun experience and a great way to end our experience in Celebration.
The last day with my first graders at Celebration K-8 was a day full of emotions. The teachers in the first grade team worked together and planned a lunch for us, and we had a big lunch for our goodbye. It was awesome and I am really going to miss the first grade team at Celebration K-8. My first graders were so sad to find out that I was leaving to return to Ohio. It was very rough leaving them on that last day. A mother of one of my students came in that morning to volunteer and it was really neat to hear that her daughter loved having me in her class and the daughter talked about me all the time at home. That made my day.
We are back in Ohio now, and I am wanting to be back in Celebration with my first graders. The host families were so nice and welcoming and they made it so much easier to be so far from home.
Well, now I'm off to student teaching at my school in Ohio. I am excited to meet my first grade students here and see how similar and different they are from my first graders in Celebration. I am so glad that I was able to do this experience, and it has taught me so much!
