I am so thankful that I am able to teach and learn with your little ones every day.  Teaching is more than a career to me; it is a privilege.  It is a gift to share so many wonderful moments with my students: the wonder in discovering something interesting about our world, the joy in sharing newly developed reading abilities with others, the engagement in learning how to do something “so awesome and fun”, like Stop Motion, the pride taken in work well done.  On top of that, there are those little extra things that prove what a special bond teachers have with students, like when your class full of kindergartners chooses lunch with you as their Thanksgiving Blessing reward.  (My heart was officially melted.)  Thank you for sharing your sweet little ones with me and for letting me be part of all of your lives as their teacher!
