Achievers

Every week at school we do something called "school achievers." It is a time that teachers can recognize students who have been working hard, achieving goals, or who have just been caught doing something nice for someone else. A lovely boy in my class came up with an idea to reverse the roles. He went to the principal and got that idea approved. They fittingly saved it for teacher appreciation week.

So, this past week, on "student achiever" day, six students, led by the boy in my class, presented "teacher achievers," in the exact manner that we do it every week.
It was quite cute. They did a great job speaking in front of the school and recognizing some people who aren't always recognized. For example, one student gave a "teacher achiever" to the janitor for keeping our school nice and clean. A good thing to recognize. Then, it came to my only student present in front of the assembly.

"My teacher achiever for coming to school everyday and being caring and teaching us," he began. "She is doing all of this while carrying a baby, and she is not even grumpy!"

Apparently moody pregnant women are even the norm to young children.
