Am I a Princess?

Or a teacher?  

I would say I definitely felt like royalty this week!

Dear room 8 students and families,

         Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making teacher appreciation week completely amazing from start to finish.  Each day was just so very special!  The morning coffee treats and scrumptious lunches made me feel completely pampered and spoiled!  I loved the sweet treasures that were brought in to represent all the letters in TEACH.  What a fun idea!  There were so many generous and thoughtful gifts brought in, my cup is truly running over.  At home, my refrigerator door is covered with beautiful pictures and cards, my bookshelf holds trinkets and treasures to make me laugh and smile, my pantry is brimming with all sorts of delicious treats, and my first aid / emergency kit is stocked with necessary and important items (I’ve always wanted to have a personal size hairspray bottle on hand at school!).  Also, thank you for the wonderful shelving unit.  What a perfect home for our math games!  You guys thought of every little thing and my heart is overflowing with thanksgiving!  I know I am leaving out many special touches about my week because I would seriously need to write a book to share them all, but let’s take a minute to talk about my door!  It is absolutely above and beyond special!  To see each one of those 21 precious faces makes me get teary even thinking about it now.  Words can’t begin to explain how blessed I am to teach each one of the students in room 8.  Teaching is definitely a work of the heart and I LOVE what I do.  This year’s class has been beyond special for me.  I love working with the students in room 8 every day.  It is my joy and honor to be their teacher.  Thank you parents for raising such remarkably kind, thoughtful, curious, and hard-working children.  The apple doesn’t fall for from the tree, as they are reflections of all that is wonderful about each of YOU!  From the bottom of my heart ~ thank you!

With great joy,

Mrs. Lara
