Gifts.
May 15This morning I was out for a meeting. Yawn. After lunch, I came back to hugs, hugs, and Billy telling me, “Gosh, you’re handsome.
Then I was showered with kindergarten gifts. I received three stickers and a bracelet.
The stickers were given to me by two girls and a boy. They were place right on the pocket of my shirt in this order:
Now, I’m pretty sure I did a ‘Good Job!’ at some point today, and the flower was sweet, but I’m not sure what the lion was meant for… am I ferocious from time to time? Do I purr like a kitty? Who knows, but I thanked them each just the same.
Now Robert had a special gift for me – a bracelet he made himself! It was kind of tight and I worried I might break it as I tried for a minute to slip it over my hand. He’d already taped it shut, so I had to be quite careful. Much to his delight, I eventually shimmied it on.
All afternoon Robert lifted his wrist and smiled at me nodding. At bus time he informed me, “You can even sleep in it.”
I swear, the gifts I get are awesome. My birthday is in a few weeks – what will they dazzle me with then?
You are so right. The small gifts make it all worth it. I had to be out of my classroom for several days due to a death in the family. When I came back one little girl climbed into my lap and said “Me was worried about you last time”. It doesn’t get any more rewarding than that.
So sweet!
A girl in my class made me a card over the weekend telling me how much she loves how I use “expression” when I tell stories! What a compliment!
OH, Kindergarten gifts! I got a beautiful piece of blue paper that my friend cut out with the fancy scissors. “Because I know you really like blue Mrs. Sonnen.”
