Can I brag for a moment here?

As their "Mom at school", can I have a few minutes to brag about "my kids"?  

Let me tell you how fabulous my class is.  

First, the backstory.

This year I have been invited to participate in a number of Board projects and activities. This has meant I have been away for a half-day workshop here and there.  Every single supply teacher that comes to my room leaves me a little note/Valentine telling me how much they enjoyed my students and their time in my room. 
In fact, yesterday's guest referred to my kids as "a dream class".  And they are.  

Today was a culminating task-day for this Math project I have been a part of since the Fall. A colleague and I co-planned a lesson together and then taught it.  In all, we had three different guest teachers in our room today.  One to cover for me while I co-planned, my colleague,with whom I taught the lesson and then another teacher who joined later in the afternoon for a visit.  

Everyone.
Loves. 
My.
Class.

Everyone went on (and on and on) about how polite, independent, funny, kind, respectful, smart, and engaged my students are and I wanted to share this wonderful news with you. 

I love sharing these sorts of stories with you because it reaffirms what I have said before:  Your children are such wonderful representatives of you all and your hard work.  

Your dream children make up my dream class.  

With appreciation and respect, 

"Mom"  ;)

  3. Hello Dream Teacher,
    I agree with that title. Thank youfor allowing me to spend some time with you and your class doing Math. What a bunch of Mathie kids! I love that each child was engaged, ready and eager to solve the problem and to share their solution. Hopefully I'll be invited back again soon.
    They are the dream class.

    Thank you for those kind words regarding our children. It is nice to know that our hard work is paying off. They are a great group of kids and you are a fantastic teacher. (I wish every teacher was like you :)!) As the old saying goes "It takes a village to raise a child", and you too are apart of that village. You are such a benefit to our children's lives. So thank you so much!!!! xo
