Friday was a big deal here... It was Teacher's Day!!! The one day a year that teachers are appreciated here for all that they do! As a teacher our whole job is centered around the students. Each and every day we care and teach our students. It was so heart warming to be showered with love and appreciation from our students and parents.
Our entire morning was pretty much dedicated to performances by students and some of the teachers. My second graders had been practicing the dance (from Just Dance) for ABC by Jackson 5. They really enjoyed it and did such a great job performing it for the school. My roommate's class did I've got the Joy Down in my Heart. They were precious! It is so awesome to see our kids having such a great time performing the songs and dances we had been working on for the past couple of weeks.
1B performing I've Got the Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy Down in my Heart!
Grade 2 performing!
Also in the midst of performances our school and parents showered us with gifts. Our school gave us a $25 bonus for teachers day and a $5 gift. The parents gave the ladies scarves, I left with 3 silk scarves :). Thank goodness it's almost winter weather time. LOL. Also the parents of 1B at our school, gave all the teacher engraved pens with their name and a stand. It is so pretty!
I am truly blessed to be working at our school. Every day I am reminded how much I love these kids. Even though there are days that they drive me insane, I wouldn't trade them for the world! Happy Teacher's Day!
My students! My heart is so happy and blessed!
