The joy I receive from my children each year has sustained me all these many years; from their writings, pictures, and little notes…

I have many momentoes on display in my home and classroom that the children have given to me …

I can even say that I do have a place setting for twelve, in “teacher mugs”…

I have truly loved reconnecting with former students, and I may still have the momento they gave to me…In fact, there are those special parents I taught, with their own children, at the very school where I am presently teaching first grade…that I feel such joy, they still remember me…

Those are just some of the many joys… All of which are part of my world of teaching, in my heart and memory… my blessings…
