Well, I'm never going to see my favorite teacher again :cry:!!!! Today, I gave him my awesome gift! It was a red T-shirt with "BAND ROCKS" on the front and on the back it says "Mr.__" and, like a baseball shirt, it has a big 1 on the back under his name! He really loved it :D.

Today was also my final day of this grades band. Mainly to keep us from crying over him leaving, Mr.Zool thought of some very clever distractions. First, he gave us Mountain Dew and a LOT of plain sugar cubes! The band went nuts :P! Then, we went outside and played "Red Rover". I know that sounds like a little kids game, but it was fun just because everyone was there :P. That's all we really did in band today!

After school, I got Mr.Zool to sign my T-shirt before he left. He signed "Big Daddy Mr.S." on it :P. It was hilarious! After that, since my friends (who are in band) and I wanted to spend as much time with Mr.Zool as we can before he left, we stuck our faces in the window of the library (where he was at) and just made funny faces at him. Then, he came out and showed us a trick. And guess what? I was the target! Mr.Zool's words to me were, "You are running through the forest," he was moving his hands in the corner of my eyes to give me the allusion. "Faster and faster you run, when suddenly I call your name! You turn to the side to see what the noise was and.....BAM! You run into a tree!" And that is when Mr.Zool smacked me in the forehead! It hurt! But, it was sooooo funny! :P

After that, my friends and I just talked to him the rest of the time and had a really nice time. When we had to leave, we gave him a hug, told him good-bye, and then I took a picture of him because he wasn't in our year book because he missed the picture taking days. I just want to remember him. He was definitely my favorite teacher I have EVER had! :D
