Best Job in the World

I will admit...once in awhile I can get frustrated with behaviors...yesterday was one of those days.  I had rocks being thrown on the playground, children calling names, children taking other children's things...ugh!  But, just when I think I need a "Calgon take me away" moment...one of my students usually does something to turn it around and it happened yesterday.  As we were playing on the playground, one of the students came up to me and said..."Mrs. Baumann, I love you so much!" Another student who has been struggling a bit with the transition to kindergarten said, "I just love coming here every day."  If wealth is measured purely in terms of dollars and cents, I will never be classified as wealthy, but if it is measured by hugs, smiles, laughter...I am one of the richest people I know!  I truly have the best job in the world!
