I feel like working with children is like working with crows or corvids. You work with them, gain their trust, they yell too loud and too long, you maybe want to kill them from time to time, but eventually they start bringing you shiny baubles and gifts. As today was my last day as a middle school student teacher, I received drawings, hand made cards, and some shiny things. Yup. Working with middle schoolers is exactly like working with crows 😆😆😆 . . My heart is so very very full. Between the hugs, drying a few student tears, the “we’ll miss you”s and “you’re coming back right?” I can sign off on my middle school student teaching with a grateful heart. Middle schoolers are weird, joyous, chaotic people who truly enrich your day. I’m sure there were a few “thank god she’s gone!” After today, but I hope even those kids got something from me being there. . . Highlights of the note second period made for me include: . . “Hope you hate high school so you come back!” . . “We will “miss” you” . . “You’re going to be a great teacher.” . . “I loved having your positive and wonderful presence in the classroom signed your favorite” . 😂😂😂😂😂thank god for kids #keepertoteacher #tcu #makeadifference #loveachild #eventhepreteens https://www.instagram.com/p/BrTNmRgH7g0cKzVyGGuq86k_YdNBx7owyF6URU0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=shmx9mz2d75a
