Cool.

Teachers love to be loved. It's part of our charm. Like it or not, the sprouts are going to adore you. Some show it with hugs, others with words. Some are a little more shy and draw pictures or give you notes. Then there is David.

David tells me he loves me daily. He offers hugs, gives drawings, and tells me he's already thinking about missing me when summer comes.  On top of all this, he's funny.  He makes me laugh all the time...

Today he handed me this:

"Mr. _______, I wrote this note for you because I wanted you to know you're cool," he said.

In case there was any doubt, I am cool. Amen.
