Today, I was having lunch with three wonderful little second grade boys in my class. One of them told me that I was an awesome teacher.... The other two agreed. I told them I didn't always feel like a great teacher, especially when I had to discipline the class. They said that none of that even mattered, and then proceeded to point out all of the things that they loved about second grade. I almost started to cry.... As they looked at me, they all laughed and said, "Miss Straka is going to cry now...." I told them that I would try not to, but that they had just melted my heart by all of the sweet things they had said (I'm needy... I need compliments) I left the room for hallway duty and returned to the room with this written on the board by one of the students that I had been eating lunch with. Apparently, he interpreted "melted my heart" as that my heart felt like it was on fire, and was therefore melting! I clearly need to re-visit idioms (I must have not done the best job at teaching those last week!). Cuties made my day! :)
