Many days I feel like teaching isn't really a job - it's too much fun when the students get excited and the lessons are interactive and creative! On the flip side, it's a lot of hard work, preparation, patience, and persistence too. That's why it's extra nice to get that little pat on the back of encouragement and thanks from students and parents alike.
Best "gift" from today's Teacher Appreciation Day was a student-made bookmark with a poem that went like this:
"Ms. Foyle, You are fun
then you make us do work till we are done.
Still you are great
and for a rate
I'll give you 10 or more
for field trips we can explore.
I think you are funny and fun too
And when we read good books you give us a clue.
You are the greatest teacher ever,
And I would never not miss you ever!
You are an awesome teacher."
Glad to see techniques taught in our first writing unit on poetry are still being applied.
What a fun day!
i agree- notes are the best- for the teacher swap at our school my kids made me some really cute pop-up cards :)
