I love to teach!!
I realize most of you already know this fact, but I just had to say it. By this time of year I am really enjoying my kids because of them knowing ME and how things work in the classroom. It always makes me sad around this time that I don't have much longer with them before I have to "give them up" and start over. I love the challenge and enjoyment each new year brings, but there is always a bittersweet moment to it.
All of my students, past and present, hold a special place in my heart. I may not always remember their names, unfortunately, and have to call them "Honey" or "Dear" if I see them, but they are still there. It always thrills my heart to see ones from the past come see me.
I find many times the kids begin to shy away from you as a former teacher when they get older because they are trying to figure out who they ARE, and their second grade teacher isn't always at the top of the list of priorities! ha!!! I enjoy watching them grow up and change. It is neat to see how they "turn out."
My first class is a Junior in College now. Pretty soon I will have been teaching long enough to be teaching children of the children I have taught. Wow.... I'm not ready to go there just yet. lol
Enough of that rambling.... I just love imparting knowledge of little minds and am so thankful for that gift from the Lord!
Off to go on a date with my precious man. We haven't really had time to ourselves since Asheville so it will be nice to be with just him tonight. We've cleaned and gotten the house in order so that always helps, too. :)
