Wow! It's already time for Thanksgiving?! Where has the time gone this school year?? Time flies when you're having fun! :) I thought it would only be the MOST appropriate to list what I'm thankful for within my 3rd grade class. I could talk for days on this subject, so I'll keep it short!
What I'm Thankful for...
1) I'm thankful that I have students who legitimately care about their work. Their work ethic is out of the roof. It's the most incredible thing I've ever seen.
2) I'm thankful that I have a group of 18 students who make me laugh every single day. Having students that can make others laugh is a very special treat. I count my blessings daily.
3) I'm thankful that my class and I can appreciate each other's weirdness. We are so strange together, but it works, and we learn A LOT more than if we were normal and boring. :)
4) I'm thankful for third graders who care about each other. These students care more about giving than receiving. I'm not teaching students. I'm teaching human beings who are going to be WORLD CHANGERS. I'm 100% convinced.
5) I'm thankful for third graders who care about themselves. From 7:35-2:30 (the first bell to the last) my students do WHATEVER it takes to be the best they can be. There isn't anything I could ask more for.
6) I'm thankful for 8 and 9 year olds. Period. :)
7) I'm thankful for students who want to teach each other and for students who encourage each other. There aren't many adults who even do this in life.
8) I'm thankful for students who ask questions. Not just about what they are learning in class, but about real life issues. Ways to make themselves better citizens.
9) I'm thankful for students who challenge me to be the best I can be. My heart bursts with joy every day in Room 521.
10) I'm thankful that the 9 previous statements are 100% genuine. I don't have to make things "seem okay" for my students and I. I am so blessed to teach this group of students. It's November, and they have changed my LIFE!
I love you, Room 521!!!! <3
