This student poster is now the background on my phone - it serves as a reminder of viewing teaching as a vocation, not a job. It is something I truly love; therefore, I'm not really working, am I?
I am so grateful to have had my group of 21 4th graders this past year - we've had our ups and downs, but we made it. And today, they were so generous with their notes and gifts of gratitude.
Here are some of my favorites:
- In an acrostic poem, one student wrote for O (in Miss Foyle), "obliviously fun" - I think she meant obviously, but I can see how oblivious might work too.
- One student gave me a cactus, which reminded me of my time in Arizona. (And it also made me quite excited because I will be less likely to kill that kind of plant!)
- I received a few delicious treats, including peanut butter/chocolate kiss drop cookies, sour gummy bears, and non-pareils (like snowdrops I buy at the movie theater but better because they are Ghiradelli).
I feel so blessed to be able to get up each morning and spend my day doing something I enjoy so much with such lovely co-workers and students.
I'm loving it!
