3rd Grade Love

Yesterday was my last day with my 3rd graders. Next, I move onto Kindergarten. As if I thought 3rd graders were funny, I can only imagine the laughs I will have with those precious 5 year olds. Kids really do say the darndest things.

The kids were so precious yesterday. They kept reminding me all day that it was my last day and that they were sad. How precious is that?! Once again, I think I made their day by giving them a mechanical pencil and pen as a thank you from me! They freaked out. I love that the small things in life matter so much! And mechanical pencils and pens are a HUGE deal, folks. Absolutely HUGE.

My teacher at the beginning of the day handed me a stack of cards they had each made for me. Y'all, I HAVE to share them with you because they are just about the most precious things you will ever read. I've already made my whole family read them and we had some good laughs. Some of them are so funny, not in a mean way, they are just so blunt and creative. I love it!

We have 2 classes, so I can't share all of them (even though I want to so bad!) but I have chosen my favorites. They will come throughout the week because if I shared them all now, y'all would be bored to death, and this would be the longest post ever.

To read it better just click on the picture to enlarge it. You've got to read these. And yes, I will translate when necessary!

Enjoy! (Obviously, they crack me up because I know their personalities, but I hope you get just as much enjoyment out of them as I did.)








Just for the record, I have never met "fluufe" his dog, but apparently I will be missed by him also.


He should really sign on with Hallmark. And don't you love that cursive "will touch his life forever." Oh, I do.

More to come...

Before I read your last comment, I was so going to say how I loved that cursive will touch his life forever- SO funny! I absolutely love the notes. Thanks so much for sharing.

I hope you LOVE Kindergarten! Let me know if you need help with anything!

Lindsee,

You have touched my life forever. Grant and I truly enjoyed the "Why do you have to leave.... WHY????"

I want you to know that my sister Maria is cute.

Love you

Oh My Stars Lindsee... that "cursive will touch my life forever" one made me laugh so hard.

Seriously, I think he could submit that one to Hallmark and make the big bucks.

About your She Speaks question... I will ask LeAnn Rice our Executive Director if the Next Generation Topics last year were recorded. I'm not sure. If not, I think they will be recorded this year. Why don't you e-mail me and I'll forward your e-mail on to LeAnn.

Sweet blessings girl!

Holly and I think you are just beautiful... inside and out!

Holly said...

How can you contain all that love? Mmm-precious!

And I got to thinking about it--cursive will indeed touch his lie forever...like the way he writes the letter "w" and "j" and the loop he uses for the letter "l." :) Ha ha hee!

Love and prayers over you this week are comin' from a state you love,
holly

Oops, I meant life, not "lie" unless of course he begins to lie in writing :) so sorry, I know, sad joke. Off for a Sunday nap of refreshment!

I remember the sweet notes and things that I received from kids in my internship. At present, I teach Pre-K, and kids do know how to make you feel so special... Every year you will get a new batch that will make you feel so special... It is kind of amazing!!
