I am thankful for many things this time of the year and all year long. One of the things I'm thankful for is my 3rd graders. They are so special, a lot of magic still happens for them. I get to be the lucky person that feeds into that wonder and magic in their lives. They still believe in a lot of things, and I am thankful for that.
They keep me on my toes, I'm always trying to find new ways to teach them. They are also learning how to be a good friend and that is challenging at this age. I love it when they come up with brilliant ideas I just couldn't wrap my head around. They make me smile and laugh at the sweet and silly things they do and say. I am thankful that I have kids who want to learn and are excited when they see growth from their hard work. It makes me so proud of them! They are amazing little people that I have the privilege to teach and spend time with everyday. Don't get me wrong, things are not always smiles and fun and laughter. We have our moments when they are having a bad day and I do everything I can, but am thankful when 2:25 rolls around.
In the end, I am grateful that I have a wonderful class of little people who I am proud to call mine.
