What makes it all worthwhile...

Yesterday as I was getting ready for the next class, a third grade boy quietly came over and said, "I'm really going to miss you.  You are a good teacher."  A moment easily forgotten in the chaos of the day, but I will cherish it in my heart.  He was there every day in this topsy turvy year of challenges, and he approved.  What more could I hope for?

  4. This is the sort of thing to put in your pocket to pull out on the days when things aren't so good. What a special moment!
