I keep a notebook of
sweet sayings from my preschoolers, the things they say can be hilarious and
heartwarming. I love when kids ask where I sleep at school, or tell me I am
their favorite teacher ever, or that they love me, or that that day was the
best day of their life. It just moves me....We have one little guy that asks
every morning if he gets to go to school, (he only comes 2 days per week) and
on the days he doesn't come he still stands out waiting for the bus. When he
does come to school he cries when he has to get on the bus to go home. Am I
making an impression on this little guy's life right now? You bet! I get
homemade presents, cards and coloring pages to hang up in my office, I get hugs
and kisses on a daily basis; one student tells me everyday, don't worry Ms.
Sara, I will be back another day! The one day she came in crabby she said she
was sorry her mommy was running late and she didn't want to miss school! When I
hear things like that, it reassures me that the team is doing a good job, we
are comforting, supporting, teaching and having fun!
Your love for your work and the kids is evident in how they respond and behave towards you. You are making a HUGE difference in their lives.
ReplyDeleteThe best reward is to see them years later and have them tell you just how much of an impact you made! Keep up the inspiring work! By the way, that is a cute pic of you and your hubby!
