It was one of those busy mornings. I got to school just in time for an early morning meeting which was followed by a second impromptu meeting which meant I would barely have a chance to store my coat and lunch before meeting with my first group of the day. That’s when I found it. A letter, you might even call it a love letter, from one of the kindergarten students I work with.
Looking at it from a teacher's perspective, it is a fantastic authentic assessment of what this child has learned and can apply. But more than that, it was just what I needed at just the right time. Because it was one of those busy mornings where I start questioning the worth of it all, this little guy’s note put it all in perspective. That’s why I do this.
I don’t know if this is the first love letter this kindergartener has written, but I’m willing to bet that it won’t be his last.
