This morning i said goodbye to my favorite class of little ones. I have been working with these 6e students since October, and, for the most part, they're really sweet. We played [educational] games for the whole class time today.
Two of the girls wrote me a note about how much they will miss me and that they will never forget me. If i had a scanner, i would show it to you; the bottom third has a bunch of hearts on it.
That's the kind of stuff that completely outweighs the discipline and/or attitude problems of other students. That and a silly boy acting like an auctioneer while playing Hangman: "Is there a D, D, D, D? No! No D! Next?" And the fight over writing implements to write fond farewells on the board. And seeing the quietest kid in class finally laughing and having a good time. I could go on, but i won't.
