Suck up?

My students write in their journals everyday after lunch. Then I collect 5 a day and read them to make sure they are writing and it helps me get to know them a little bit better. Plus it is often hysterical. So the other day I was reading one of the journals and this is what it said, “Today is Miss Collett's birthday. I think she’s having the worst one yet. Today is probly (his spelling) my worst day too. Well I hope you read this on Monday but I'm sorry for what hapened today. I'm sure you had a bad day. I hope tomorrow's better. It's just I think your the best teacher I ever had.” Come on! I about died. He is one of my favorites, can you tell? The best thing is that he is totally sincere. I have a few who try and let’s say “butter me up”, but it doesn’t fly with me. M here though is just so sweet it is hard not to love him. Also, I honestly have no idea what he is referring to.

I am excited for the school year to end. The kids are getting wild, so my patience is running thin. I will miss them I am sure, but right about now I want to hurt a few.:) Testing is next week so we will find out if I taught anyone anything. I am crossing my fingers!
