Teachers always get funny little things from students for the holidays and end of the year. I got a lot of really great stuff this year. A lot of gift cards, flowers, plants, chocolates, lotions, etc. My room moms got money donated from parents in the classroom and bought me several hundred dollars worth of new books I had hinted I wanted for a teaching program I've been using. We have a great community where I teach and I feel truly blessed.
Students also write the funniest cards and notes. Below are the top three from this morning's bon voyage.
"Dear Miss Chidester, thank you for being the best teacher in the world. I love you because you care about me and you care about the class. I love you and I will miss you when I go into 2nd grade. I will come to your classroom every day. Well maybe not every day but I will come and see you a lot. I love you!"
This is hilarious!! It's by far my favorite.
(it would have been nice had it come from Cary Grant!)
"You're a rose that smells like a daisy. You bloom so beautiful in my eyes. You are so beautiful I can't take my eyes off you! Love, Faith. To Miss Chidester"
This little note accompanied some lotion and body spray from Victoria's Secret. You need that little piece of info to understand it.
"Dear Miss Chidester. From Bella. You are the best teacher ever so you deserve something special something that smells good. Makes you smell good even though you already smell good. Love Bella J."
Those r great!! Maybe I should have gotten Jacks teacher something too... :)

I love the notes from the kids, Faith was in my class and I always received the best cards from her. Hope everything is going well! If you want an invite to my blog email me at gentryjudd@yahoo.com
Oh yeah, and I cried when you posted about Tate!
ReplyDeleteHaha!! Classic! My favorite is the second one too... that's hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know roses could smell like daisies! You are one in a million. It would be worth it to teach just for those cute letters!
ReplyDeleteAren't little first graders the best?! Just think what you would be missing if you didn't do this job. It's worth all the pee pants and nose picking the rest of the year. I also love the second one. Too cute!!
