Teacher of the Month

Today was a fun day in my classroom. The kids were super excited to see me back in the classroom today. They were cute telling me how much they miss me when I'm not there. Love it! Well, while I was in the middle of helping a couple students my principal came in and said she had three important visitors...then the visitors proceeded to enter and give me the exciting news that I was chosen as Teacher of the Month for our entire county. It is quite the honor!!! I got a plaque, a nice framed certificate, and $500 for my classroom! YAY! I asked the students to give some ideas on how we can spend the money. Their best idea was "Buy a teleporter" so you can still teach here next year! :) I love them. Of course I started to cry when they presented me with the check and frames. It truly makes me realize how much I am loved and appreciated at St. Paul. I was able to read the nomination letters and one of my students wrote my name as "Mrs. Kindmige"....he isn't the greatest speller!
