This is our last week of teaching, and its been more difficult to say goodbye to my kids than I thought it would. I know that I will see most of them in the fall (and some I'm not too sad to say goodbye to), however it marks the end of this year which has just flown by! I'm still having a wonderful time here and grateful for this experience and this opportunity. I'm excited for the summer and at least one more year in Prague. My sister arrives tomorrow for 2 weeks of traveling in Italy and the Czech Republic, then I have one more week off and then I work summer camps for 4 weeks in Prague and other locations in the CR. After that, more travel with friends and family and the school year resumes mid-September. I'm sure the summer will fly by as quickly as the last 10 months have!
Today is especially bittersweet, as the transport workers union has waged a 24-hour strike and has basically shut down the city's transportation. Therefore, I was not able to go to my classes today. Thursday's are my marathon days with 9 classes, so I wasn't too sad to not go through that again, but I was sad not to be able to say goodbye to my kiddos.
I did get a chance to take some fun pictures of my last classes so far this week. Tomorrow, just 3 kindergarten classes and then my sister will be here and the summer officially begins!

Aw, this makes me miss teaching my babies in Taiwan! Such a great year and it's awesome you'll get to see a lot of them again next year.
