Cool Gift
My class had an end of the year party today, and my class gave me the best gift they could have given me.
They wrote a book about why they've liked having me as a teacher for two years. They did it at home, and one of the moms assembled it.
What made it such a great gift was that almost every student wrote that they loved how I was always smiling and laughing.
To my students I am a happy, carefree woman. I'm in control, and cheer them on to learn.
To know that that's how they see me, is such a gigantic gift.
Have I told you lately how sad I am to let them go?

You'll all have special memories of your time together. One my favorite gifts and such a nice surprise. They love you.
You are a gigantic gift to them. They were lucky to have you - especially for two years. :o)
Aww...that's such a special gift! Your class just sounds SO precious! :-)
BTW...did I miss this? What was the book they picked out for you?
Ah, the book they picked out for me was a sequel to Poppy, by Avi. We were reading Poppy at the time :O)
These gifts are the precious, treasured ones. Expensive, store-bought gifts don't have anything on the heartfelt treasures like this book.
You, and the lessons you have taught them, will remain with these children forever. I remember my grade 1 teacher, her generosity and dispute management 38 years later....
