This is teacher appreciation week. Our principal and parent group are going above and beyond to make us feel the love this week. First of all, our principal is letting us wear jeans all week! For anyone who teaches lower elementary and is on the floor a big portion of a day, this is a huge gift. She's also letting us go into town to eat lunch one day this week. And we get a full lunch hour; not just 20 minutes! Another amazing gift. And our parent group is making us lunches and snacks every day this week. They have a theme for each day. WOW! We are feeling the appreciation. I work for the best school in the country. I might be biased...especially since I started elementary and graduated from this school. I love it. With that being said, I'm still counting down the days like every other teacher in America right now. This is a crazy time of year. But I'm going to miss these kids so much. I love them to pieces. A couple of months ago, I had my first grade students right about a special friend.
I was surprised when I found out this student wrote about me! How sweet. I had to save it for sentiments sake. Could you tell we had been working on similies and metaphors in English? How nice for someone to say I have tan skin! This is a first, and a last, I'm sure. Glad I saved it.
Sweet sweet friend writing and what an awesome week!You all should definitely feel appreciated.There are many great rewards to an oh so important job,but like any job we are always looking forward to vacation.We will blink and all of our little ones will be in Elementary.
