I did make it back to Austin, Texas safe and sound. I had 3 excellent flights back to Austin that were all on time and ran smoothly. My students were very anxious to see me again after being gone for over a month and a half, so I went back to teach the very next day. That first morning back I was greeted with a huge banner, flowers, and many posters welcoming me back to Zilker Elementary. It was very sweet and I was very grateful! The local news came to my classroom later that day for interviews with both the kids and me. We were all very excited to share our experience with the Austin community. School just finished yesterday, so I finally found some time to sit down and write my final journal. I have really enjoyed this awesome experience and am truly grateful to everyone involved! Have a fun and safe summer!Thanks, Mrs. Pena
