Well, Tuesday I was in tears again, but this time over my seniors. During a conversation during class about advertising and how they try to convince you that you need something, my students asked me what was something that I thought I needed (after I had asked them) and I told them that I wanted a four-slice toaster and a griddle.
Well, about a month has passed since that conversation, and yesterday, my senior class brought me a gift -- yeap, they had bought me a toaster. Here it is:
I love my toaster, and I love my students. Really was something I needed after the year I have had so far, makes it all worth while.

I can't imagine teaching high school!! (kindergarten was my last job...).
I can't believe that parents give teachers such a hard time about stuff. I am so thankful for my kids teachers, and no, they are not perfect, but i appreciate everything they do for my kids. If you really want everything done your own way, homeschool.
Enough ranting...what a great bunch of kids :) That's some classy toaster!!
That really rocks Penny! It's nice to know that in the end you are making the kids happy no matter what the parents and other teachers say!
That is so awesome, Penny!! And I have that exact same toaster.....that's what Clay picked out for our anniversary gift this year. We have NEEDED a four lice toaster for so long & we LOVE it! Enjoy!! ;-)
AAWWW! I love it when teenagers remind us that they really do have a heart.
What a wonderful gift!!!!
