I've been under the weather for the last couple of weeks with a cold. The kids have been really patient with me and have been my helpers. I thought I might be finally starting to feel better, but I came to school today with a hoarse throat. The kids noticed right away and were encouraging each other to be good listeners.
At recess, I noticed two boys coloring very quietly (this does not happen often! ha!). At the end of recess, they each gave me a get well soon note. So sweet!!
