It was our 1st Grade program today...and it was such an awesome day! The kids sang and dance their little hearts out...and just looked so darn cute all dressed up and fancy! Before the program, we had a little "social time" with cookies and juice. I had talked to my kids about how to be hosts and hostesses...offer cookies and juice to their guests first, etc. It was so cute to see them getting cookies for mom and dad and just behaving like little ladies and gentlemen (cuz believe me, they don't always act like that)!

The program itself was awesome! It always goes great and the families always love it! I've done this many years and I still get a little teary-eyed watching my "little ones" perform...and get excited when they nail part of a sung they've struggled with!

After the program, I had one grandma comment that I looked like I should still be in high school! I used to hear that a lot when I first started teaching...but not so much lately (and I was having an I-feel-fat-and-ugly day)! Then another grandma told me she could tell how much my kids love me and could tell how much I love my job! Wow...what a wonderful compliment!

Just one of those days when I realize how much I really do love my job!!!

Oh man...those little programs make me tear up really bad. At Andy's preschool graduation, the teacher put together a power point slide show with pictures from the whole year long and put some songes with it...one was "Let them be Little" andI just felt like an idiot but I was choking back my tears so hard. No one else had a tear so I didnt want to be the only one!!

I am so much trouble on May 30th fo rthe Kindergarten Graduation. I will try to keep my composure though!!! :)

That kind of feedback is priceless too. But its true... you can always tell who the teacher are who love their jobs, and those who are burned out...I just laugh becuase when you are lining up the class, you dont stand a whole lot taller than some of them!! Glad they made your fat and ugly day better. I hate those days.
