Yesterday was the first day back after Spring Break. Prior to SB we had set up our leprechaun traps (homemade) in hopes of catching one. Alas, we didn't, but they did leave footprints, gold dust, and notes for us in their wake. They also ate some candy from the traps ;). The kids were beyond ecstatic to see what had happened. The joy in their eyes was amazing. It was, in their words "The best day EVER!" And the good thing in kindergarten is that the number of best days is not limited, but infinite.
Teaching kindergarten these last 3 years has been the biggest blessing. Through my whole ordeal of court, trials, rumors, small town talk, newspaper articles et al, kindergarten has been my secure plateau from which I can watch the flash flood go by. Sure, the rain still hits you, and it's not the best of days, but the storm will soon pass, and hopefully, what is left is a renewed landscape ready to blossom and grow..
