FAREWELL From B4 age five to ten. Some of the ones she has in her classroom now, she also taught in first grade. And in a way she’s watched them grow up. She’s seen them learn to read, write, decipher a math puzzle, and develop social skills. “The hardest part is letting go of the kids,” Mrs. Howell said. “They are like my little babies.” Mrs. Howell lives in Kings Moun- tain with her husband Drew Howell and their 22-month-old son Luke. While she led her students, for one of the last times, to an extra-curricular class on Friday, her assistant tidied the room and placed a stuffed animal fitted with a graduate’s cap on each desk. It was graduation day in a sense — not just for the students. A new adventure, in learning and teaching, awaits them all. Like any new thing it can be scary at first. It can ap- pear too “big”. But it can also be citing”...and some of the hardest things in life turn out to be worth it.
