Ta Da

So, I was surprised in April by our school's teacher of the year award. I received a gift certificate for La Caille, a framed certificate at the board meeting, and two tickets to a Real Salt Lake soccer game where they recognized all the winners from the district. It was pretty cool to be recognized but a little embarrassing too, considering all the amazing teachers at our school. Earlier that week one of my students gave me the best reward when he made huge gains on a reading test. I told him I knew he could do it. He told me it was all because of me. Watching my kids grow and learn to love learning- that's why I teach.

Shiny isn't it!
