I circled my last day of work, and each day I show them what the current date is, and ask them a few questions...
Who wants to feel happy today?
How can you have a happy day?
What are you going to do to help friends in Shooting Star have a happy day?
And everyday since we have started this, has been a good day.
The kids have been so sweet and kind to me as well as to one another, and in the past two weeks, I've seen a really big change in the way they listen and act throughout the day.
Today when we sat down for afternoon circle time I decided that today we would switch it up a bit.
Normally the kids all participate in an activity called, "I love you because..." where they have to pick a friend and explain why they like them.
Today I decided to call each child up individually and tell them a specific reason why I love them.
When I was finished I told them thank you for making me feel so happy today, and that I was so proud to be their teacher. That spending my time with them makes me feel happy all day.
I am going to miss them so much.
It's impossible to explain what this group of kids means to me.
