52 Weeks of Happiness - Week 16

As I teacher,

I bring a lot of myself

and my personality to my classroom.

I love to tell my students stories.

I always assumed I told a lot of 

Ethan stories.

I figured, 

if I want to know my students,

they should know me.

I never really realised how much of me

my students understood

until the last day of school.

Last Tuesday was our last day.

We had an assembly in the morning

and a class party after that.

During the party,

my class parent presented a gift

and a story to me.

She had collected money

from all the parents

to purchase me a gift.

These are always nice.

I know from the past,

that the class mum tends to put some thought into it.

However,

this year,

it would appear my girls had more input than the 

class parent.

As Sarah presented my gift,

she informed me how involved a group of girls were.

They knew there was to be a gift

and they wanted a say in the gift.

It would appear,

my students know a lot about me.

The girls insisted that my gift be a pair of shoes.

Oh,

but not just any pair of shoes.

Oh no!

They wanted me to have 

a pair of brown boots

with a 3-inch heel.

Yes, 

they know me!!!!

When Sarah mentioned to the girls

she was unsure they could find 

these boots for me,

the girls were quick to come up with a solution.

A handbag!

A group of girls went with Sarah

to Sugarbush to get me a new bag.

This is probably the first time

I've ever had a gift from my class

that really came from my class.

While it's not a bag

I would ever choose for myself,

it's sooooo me!

 

 

 

Don't you just love the splash of pink?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happiness is a fabulous new bag

from my fabulous class.
