Most days I absolutely love my job! But today I wasn’t feeling that usual abundance of love.
This evening I’m reflecting on some of the decisions that were made in the classroom. I'm just so glad that tomorrow is a brand new day!
There was one treasured moment that I will definitely be adding to my book of First Grade Precious Moments.
One of my sweet little girls showed me her reading log and was bubbling over with excitement. As I was signing & updating her log she started a conversation with me. The dialogue went something like this:
Sweet Girl: "I can not believe how many 100s I have gotten in a row!" (giggle)
Me: "I know! You are doing awesome!"
Sweet Girl: "Yes, I’m pretty amazing!" (grinning
from ear to ear)
from ear to ear)
She wasn’t bragging. Just stating a fact. I couldn’t help by smile as she hugged me.
What a delightfully confident young woman who made you smile today. Tomorrow is a new day and a new start PLUS it's FRIDAY!
ReplyDeleteYeah for brand new fresh days to start over with!! I'm totally feeling that tonight as well. Hope you have a wonderful Friday!

That Sweet Girl sounds pretty amazing. It's hard to be down when you get to teach first graders all day. I teach first grade too, and they keeps me laughing and smiling even when I don't really feel like laughing and smiling. Here's to first grade love!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet I know what her name wasn't!! You are an amazing teacher, and I can hardly wait until your book is published!
