Last week, a student came into class w/ a little yellow card she made herself. It said something like 'In honor of teacher appreciation week, I wanted to thank you for being a great teacher.' Aww, that was nice. Then she said 'I made it yellow because that's your favorite color'. Double awww. Jokingly, I read it out loud to the rest of the class, hoping they'd get the hint & do the same. Instead, one kid said 'You should have seen what she did for her teachers at school. One of them got a plant & the others got cookies'.
Her mom makes the best chocolate chip cookies. They are soooo thick, chewy & delicous. I look forward to the recital every year just for these cookies. So then, the poor girl got embarassed. She turned bright red & started blubbering about how her mom only let her make 2 dozen & she brought them for her teachers at school. She promised to make me some next week. I told her the card was great, thanked her again for it & continued with the class.
Well, yesterday, the cookie kid comes in with a nicely wrapped package of cookies for me, tied with a yellow bow.
