Every week I teach over 500 students, grades Kindergarten through 5th grade, science, technology, engineering and math. It is a joy to watch these students learn in a project based environment.
The kindergarten students are quite a challenge, though. We only have 30 minutes together and that is a very short amount of time to create a Lego masterpiece, or code the Bee Bots, or play the Code and Go Mouse game, or code a project on Scratch Jr.
Today a kindergarten boy came to his 3:00 PM to 3:30 PM class. It was the end of the day, so I was a little tired and looking forward to the end of the day. I was quickly shuffling the rest of his class in when he very gently touches my arm, stops, looks at me and says, "I love you." It was so sincere and so precious!
I swear, it is moments like this that makes teachers come back each morning!
