So...most of you know that I have been teaching a 3rd grade class this year. I was called in on the 4th day of school and asked to cover the class while the teacher was out. Well....she never came back! I have been there FOREVER now and today was finally my last day with the kids because a teacher who was out on sick leave is going to take over. They are adorable and have really been a TON of fun to work with (I wish I could post some pictures but I probably shouldn't because the NYC DOE wouldn't like that). We had parent teacher conferences tonight and I had to meet with all of the parents to introduce them to the new teacher and to give them the 411 on their kids. Well....let me tell you....I feel like I just woke up on Christmas morning! I have about 18 gifts to open up right now. I opened up a couple at school and among them were Escada perfume with a purse, an Indian (ya...like India) scarf, a Spanish music CD, 4 pairs of earrings, a fruit basket, and LOTS of cards and notes from the kids. I have no idea what awaits me in the other bags and boxes....but I am sure it will be interesting. Do all kids give presents to their teachers? This is new to me. I cant believe how generous these parents are.....they are indeed very thoughtful. One of the 5th grade teachers who is leaving on maternity leave got a Coach wallet from one of the parents.....not bad!

Wow girl, you scored! I don't recall getting anything like that. I can't wait to hear about all your other gifts. It's probably bitter sweet for you to leave. Nice not to go every day but sad to leave the kids you got to know so well.
I'm sad you're done with that class...I loved hearing your teacher stories. Let's catch up this weekend. I just finished my first week alone with Max...phew!
