Well, my first year field placement at the elementary school has finally ended, and boy it was a roller coaster of a time. My field instructor's old DSS buddy called school social work, "the champagne of social work." Here's why:
--You have a manageable caseload.
--You get holidays and summers off :)
--Your days are short.
--You're typically not on call.
--You get to work with individuals and families.
--If you have school-aged children, you are on the same schedule as them.

My most favorite part was the pre-K class (pictured above). They were so loving and excited (most of the time) to be in school. Even when they where snotty-nosed and angry, they could still bring a smile to my face. I will miss hanging out with them the most!

Farewell elementary school--hello.....??????
