With all the pressure put on us teachers nowadays, I don't always have the time to really listen to stories my children want to tell. The day is short, the curriculum is demanding, and small talk is sometimes pushed aside.

Well, today...I made an effort to take extra time to listen to each and every story my 9 year olds wanted to share...and I listened giving each one my utmost attention. I hugged, high fived, laughed when appropriate, sighed when necessary, and truly enjoyed my kids for who they are. Not that I don't always enjoy them...but today was special.

It was a wonderful day...not only for them...but for me, too! I hate to see them move on to 4th grade...wish I could keep each and every one of them for another year...a great bunch of kids I have this year!
