I wanted to share some of my teacher moments. My class was cut into 12 wonderful children. You could say I have the ideal class. It’s a small class and they are all so motivated to learn. All of my teacher moments have occured at my parent conferences. My first was with the parent of a child who is very quite and forgetful. His mother told me that her son had told her that the only three people he knew really cared about him. He said it was his father, mother, and his teacher. My heart sank, I did not realize what kind of impact I had given a child who I had only been with in five weeks. It was awesome!!!

My second moment was with another mother who told me her child came home from school so excited because I had recognized and celebrated his birthday. Apparently this was the first time this childs birthday had been celebrated by a teacher. She began to cry and told me how much she appreciated my kindness toward her child. As you can see my days are never the same. I no longer dread going to work and I love seeing the smiling faces of my children.
