If Only Kids Hired Teachers...

...because I think I'd have like 100 jobs by now!  And while currently, the kids' opinion of me isn't seeming to make much a difference in the job hunt, it does make me feel good.

Today I got one of the sweetest notes today from a kid in the class I was subbing.  The girl, who is in second grade (although the job listing said this was a first grade, it wasn't - it was second), wrote "Dear Miss Barnes, You are nice and you are a fun teacher it helps me learn.  I wish you were my 3rd grade teacher please can you? Love, *name omitted* P.S. Please, please and please."  And at the bottom of this note was a cute little picture of stick-figure me writing swiggles on the white board with stick-figure girl sitting at her desk, smiling and writing.  Even though I'd only been with them for about two hours at this point, I was still so touched by her adorable little card.

The class was actually really sweet as a whole.  I kind of wished I could do a full-day with them.  I also had fun seeing the 3rd graders who I've subbed for a lot this year across the hall.  The only times I've been at this school this year has been for that class, so it was fun to see another room.  I left my sub number with the teacher so maybe she'll request me back sometime!

What a cute note! Yes, it would be nice if the hiring people what take a hint from the kids you have taught. They know a good thing when they see it!
Love you!!! MOM

That is the coolest thing ever. I hope you keep a scrap book of your teaching so you can put it in there. I hope your Friday is wonderful too. Hugs, Rhonda
