Appreciation

Last week was National Teacher Appreciation Week. Our PTA was wonderful in giving us little treats, and a tasty baked potato lunch. I thoroughly enjoyed the art my class created for me as well. But. what I treasure the most are the kind words from parents of my sprouts. I've had a few parents tell me that they appreciate how I work with their children, and how they have watched their child bloom before their eyes. I've even had one or two request me as their child's teacher for next year.Conversations like these with parents do wonders for my heart. It helps me know that  I am where I need to be doing what I need to do- teach and love children.
