I've got some pretty good students

I've been subbing at North Cache for a month now and I have to say that I've kind of become attached to some of my students. There are still those that I wish would never come to class, but some of my kids are so great. They work hard, they're happy, and a few even say "thank you" at the end of class.
I'm happy that I made the decision to go into teaching. It's tough not being in my own classroom, but I've been blessed to have opportunities to long-term sub where it's almost felt like my own place. So I continue to wait for the day when I'll have a full-time teaching job, but in the meantime, I'm grateful for what I do have.

Look at what some of my kids gave me for Christmas:

There's a couple of candy canes, a Snickers bar, a cookie (I'm not sure I'll actually eat it), some pens, and apple butter (from the teacher I'm subbing for). It really is the thought that counts.
