So I have this dear gr.2 girl,"Kate" who very very often forgets everything! She forgets her homework at home, she forgets to do her homework, she forgets her glasses & if she does remember then she forgets them in her locker! So Monday morning she walks in the door, no glasses, no book! "Kate", I said, "Where's your books & glasses?" She looks at me, eyes shining more then normal. "Go to your locker & check", I say.(And why wasn't I saying this all sweetly? Well to be honest, its Monday morning &already my day is running late!)Ok so there she's standing & as I ask her to do this, her eyes shine & her hand goes up. O she's clutching something in her hand..."Can I give you something?"she asks. My heart starts melting..."Yes",I say. She very delightfully hands me a little clay teddy sitting on some books that have a heart & say something about teacher on them...ok now I wish so bad I wasn't frustrated. I thank her with my heart melted n my day better...She goes & looks & no, she did not remember to bring her things but she did teach her teacher a lesson...My teddy is hanging in my window...I need to always keep my precious teddy to remind me to be patient & remind me of my precious girl...No, I've already forgotten this week but I do LOVE my students!!
