Good Teachers

Our kids' school has had a theme all year about "Respect" For people, things, learning and a couple of other categories. This school has been great about making sure each child gets recognized for their efforts toward "Respect" in all it's various forms. I thought this award would be a similar one as I hurried over with Lucy in her trusty pack. I was a few minutes late so I missed Chas getting his name called but was able to step in and applaud him and the other 1st graders standing in front. After the ceremony I found Chas to give him a hug. He squeezed me very tight and said "Look what I got an award for!" I was surprised and happy to see the unusual certificate. He was very pleased with himself. Gotta love that kid!

I am so grateful for good teachers who can see the talents of each child. Even the gift of being a little too funny! Every time I leave the 1st. 4th or 5th grade classrooms, I feel like I need a long, restorative nap! Thank a teacher today!
