Eric... : May 2014

It was teachers day this week. So we got presents from the students. I got a lot of good stuff. I have over 300,000 won ($300) in gift certificates plus a lot of starbucks cards and other goodies. I love getting things like that... but honestly, I would be just as happy only getting cards from my kids. A picture that a kid draws, or what they write just melts my heart. When I have felt down before, I can open one up and instantly I am happy.

I wrote thank you notes to each of my students. I did one for each of my kindy kids. I only got a few gifts from my afternoon kids. I wrote them thank you notes too. But with all of my kindy kids (and 1 afternoon kid - Chloe from last year) I took a picture with them, laminated it, and put it in the card. So I am putting those pictures up... these are my kids this year!

And last but not least, Chloe... I have not taught her in a long time. I no longer have 1 on 1s with her... but she still gave me a teachers day present.

These (other than Chloe in the bottom picture) are my Kindys this year.

These are pictures I took with Flat Stanley (It is all of my classes except my Tuesday and Thursday afternoon 6 year old class). All of these classes have had changes (additions and subtractions) since the pic was taken. So... I am naming the ones in the pics.... But it is not accurate any more.
