Wow, what a fantastic day! First, my interns that visit my classroom on Tuesdays and Thursdays brought gifts and sweet notes this morning because it was their last day! Next, a gorgeous vase of flowers were delivered to my classroom with the sweetest note attached (I think it was from one of my student's awesome parents)! Those definitely brightened my day even more! As if the day couldn't get any better, I was chosen by my colleagues to represent Sunset Park Center for Accelerated Studies as Teacher of the Year! Being nominated Teacher of the Year is an honor in its own right, but to be accepted and chosen to represent a school filled with such talent is extremely humbling. There are so many people that have influenced my teaching over the past 8 years and I carry their ideas and thoughts with me each day in the classroom. I feel so blessed to be right where I am, influencing the lives of children, but more than that...I am lucky to have these students impacting my life every day!
