I received some beautiful words from two of my students today. It was very humbling and reminded me why I am in this profession. It is all about relationships and my students.
One girl wrote,
"Thank you for the things you have done for me, for making my days worth coming to school, basically everyday I come into your class just to see you! You always make me smile, and laugh heaps and I can share anything with you. Thank you for being there for me, thank you for helping me get through my work when it was hard :L I just thank you for everything even though it may seem small, its big to me. You are an amazing lady, teacher."
Over the course of the year the kind messages have continued as I have got to know the girls more and been able ti support them to believe in themselves. I feek privileged to be part of their life this year.
To show their appreciation of me they organised a special lunch and bought me some amazing gifts. Teaching is so rewarding.
This was such a heartfelt message from these students that they really valued you as a teacher and they would clearly miss you. The relationships you have formed with these students are a clear demonstration of your progress as a teacher. Well done again Casey!
