HISTORICAL MISNOMER AND GOODBYES

The school year is over, and like I have blogged before, I am not thrilled as is commonly perceived to be a teacher's reaction to be when beginning the summer vacation. I'll miss my students, those children who have made a huge impact on me for a whole school year. Suddenly they are gone, some never to be seen again.

I was thinking of something one of them wrote in their New Mexico Report that was due at the end of the year. I thought I'd write the quote exactly as written:

"Los Alamos National Laboratory was made in 1948 by President Harriet Tubman."

I'll miss those little things they say, but not as much as the kids themselves.
