Oh how I love our new school!!!
Yesterday was Teacher Appreciation Day.
Usually all the teachers eat lunch with the kids in the dining hall,
one teacher to a table, ensuring proper etiquitte
and low spit ball volume.
But yesterday we were treated to a Lunch Party!
Parents, God bless them, subbed for us at lunch, and we
were treated to a Chinese food feast.
I hate Chinese food.
Anyway, we had "wonderful" food, entertainment and gifts!
All this to show how much we're appreciated.
I thought, "Wow, it can't get any better than this."
I was wrong.
Later on, I was going through some art work and came upon a
first grade masterpiece without a name on it.
I walked across the hall to their classroom,
they were having some free time,
so Miss Barry invited me in to ask who the secret artist was.
It only took seconds for them to descend upon me;
Olivia collapsed to the ground and wrapped
her arms around my legs
hugging me like a cherished teddy bear.
Altan ran over and gave me a huge hug.
The rest of the munchkins surrounded me like Dorothy about to start off on her trek;
"Mrs. McKibbins, look at my loose tooth!"
"Mrs. M, what are we doing for art next week?!"
"Hi!!"
"Mrs. M., watch this!"
"giggle"
-hug, hug, hug.
Now THAT my friends, is TEACHER APPRECIATION!

That's the best, isn't it? I like to liken it more to being Elvis and the kids just go nuts. They're funny. But whenever I need a pick-me-up I visit Lori in the toddler room!
Ah, that's so sweet! Doesn't it feel great to know they luv you?!
I love it, too, when they see you out at the grocery store and they act like they are seeing a *rock star* (it's like they think teachers live at school!)
Happy Teacher Appreciation!!!!
Amen! You teachers are so unappreciated! Know THIS mom does appreciate all you do.

Awwwww! Cute story. Sorry you hate Chinese, though. Do you like chocolate? When we do teacher appreciation at my son's school, I bring in Fudge Brownie Trifle and they practically lick the bowl clean. I could email you some? Post a picture on my blog? Just let me know!
Aww, that was really sweet of them. BTW, next time you can just pass your chinese my way. MMMMM...LOL

I always loved Teacher Appreciation Day. I don't think the parents who plan and organize it ever truly understand how nice it is to have that "thank you" which teachers so rarely hear.
That's awesome! Sounds like you had a great day!
Dude, how can you NOT like Chinese food? lol
