Amazing Wednesday

I went to summer school today to teach my students math, reading and many other subjects. In our last period, we did activities that strengthen friendships/ social skills and we then turned it into a writing assignment. In the end, i had all my students show there writing assignment in front of the class. The writing assignment was to write about the things you learned about your friends ie. the other individuals in the class. I had many students go up and use many creative styles of writing and portray there new found friendships with the rest of the class. It was so touched when one of my students stood in front of the class and told his classmates that he wrote his paper on me. He stated that his new friend is Mrs. Duke and he learned new things about her. He stated that I am such an amazing teacher and i am so patient. He also said that i was his favorite teacher and he loves that i take my time to help him with his many difficult subjects. I was so touched that there was a student out there that appreciated me. I know that my students love, care and appreciate me, it is just very nice to here it out loud.
