Break Time!

School is finally on break for the next two weeks! Wahoo! Our last day of school was filled with holiday activities and movies, and tons of treats (of course!). Normally the kids are insane on days like these, but ours were fairly well behaved (for the most part). My favorite part of the day was not when all my sweet little girls huddled around my desk, just wanting to chat with me. Or when my class was overjoyed with the small gifts we gave them. Or even when the teachers were given a very generous gift from all the parents. No, it was when one of my most challenging, ill-behaved students, who usually gives me a fair amount of grief, came up and gave me an enormous hug at dismissal. "Have a great break Mrs. Yager!" he called out...

Sometimes it's the smallest gifts that mean the most.
