As a second grade teacher there are some things that just make your heart beam. One of those is when a high school-er acknowledges your presence and says they still love you. Another is when you see students that struggled academically or socially blossom in junior high (a rare thing to blossom in junior high). This week I took my students to the Jr. High production of Seussical. I realize it was a junior high play and in that context I base my reviews. But, I thought it was wonderful. My little students had grown and did an amazing job. They sang, danced, and performed extremely well. I loved it so much. In fact, I enjoyed it so much I invited Trent on a date with my tonight to see it again. He didn't enjoy it as much as I did (he has not investment in it). The second time was just as good.

They are a great source of joy. Now I eagerly await her text saying she has made it home.
