How many of you have a Sunshine Folder? A folder where you keep happy little notes, memories, and special items from teaching. My sunshine folder holds AHA! moments had by kids, letters from students after a hard day, and anything that just made me smile and I knew I had to keep. Whenever I’m having a tough day I look back through this folder {stored in my filing cabinet} and remind myself why I’m here and why I’m doing this.
Today I received a new letter to add to my Sunshine Folder {currently held in the States, but to be added when I return}. My Spanish students are writing to my students in Colorado from last year. One of my Spanish students asked about me as a teacher… and this is what my sweet student replied…
Melt my teacher heart. Audrey just made my day 🙂 This is definitely what being a teacher is all about. Am I right?
Does anyone else have a Sunshine folder? What do you have in yours?
