self-flattery

well, it's not self flattery if i post someone else's words...

tomorrow is the last day of school and I asked the kids to write about what they liked best.
here's my favorite, self-inflating, answer:

My absolute favorite thing about second grade was having Mrs. Cranwell as a teacher. She helped us with math and language arts. She helped us with our lines in the play. She made second grade possible.

We raised money for the Chesapeake bay and Mrs. Cranwell helped with that as well. She helped us with the volcano we made. She cheered for us on field day. We traveled to Mexico and Kenya and she helped with that, too.

She helped us research animals. She helped us when we raised our hands and she would answer us. She would set examples when we most needed them. She supported us when we did our play and if we were stuck on a word, she would help.

September was the month of meeting her. My favorite part of second grade was having Mrs. Cranwell for a teacher and all of the memories I have of her.
