I haven't had this ...Linda, I teach 3rd grade. I haven't had this many kids since I had 38 5th graders about 17 years ago! Believe me, THAT was just crowd control! I kept them busy all year (I don't know HOW...) I loved all those kids and twice now, those 5th graders (now grown) have seen me and come up and given me a hug! One works at hubby's hotel in the baking department. Another girl ran across the football field at my old school to give me a bear hug and announce, "Don't you remember me?" Uh..no, you were about 4 feet smaller! But, she remembered me and said I inspired her to go to college and get a job and help support her family. THOSE are the rewards of teaching.Cheryl Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04211625006758463474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052945428992934827.post-76386633836937563322011-08-23T16:45:09.377-07:002011-08-23T16:45:09.377-07:00I've been to a couple of district rah-rahs whe...I've been to a couple of district rah-rahs when I was teaching long ago, and I know what you mean.

I've found the same, as you get older the heat zaps you out so much quicker!Mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03574914465998507310noreply@blogger.com
