Here's something sweet I wanted to share. On Friday the kids at our school made Valentines for teachers and staff members and the PTO sorted them and passed them out. I didn't expect to get any, because as the bookkeeper/secretary I'm not really working with students very often, if ever. But much to my surprise, I got two!
The first is from Anson, one of the four kids I made friends with early on who still come by the office first thing every morning to say hi and give me hugs. The second is from a little girl who waits in the office for the nurse to arrive every morning (she takes daily medication) and likes to hang out with me. I taught her to read an analog clock (something kids are not able to do these days as a rule, which is insane to me) so that's why she thanked me for "teaching her time". I was really touched to get these two little Valentines!

Lovely. I only ever had one 'love letter' when I was teaching; from a 6 year old girl. I kept it for years, but now..... ?
That's very sweet, and truly heartfelt from the children who wrote those cards!
"The best teacher in the whole wide world"... love it!
Being able to tell the time was quite an achievement for me. We were supposed to learn it in Elementary School, but I didn't really get the hang of it until I learnt to say the time in English. Only then, all those quarters and halves and quarter-to and -past etc. made sense - but I have to admit, it really IS not quite straightforward in Swabian German!
