I was out of the classroom for a half day on Thursday for a Data Meeting. These meetings generally depress me because I have to look at all the red that signifies where my students are behind.
When I got back I peeked my head in the window, and only one student spotted me. I could hear her saying that she saw Mrs. Moffatt. So, I peeked again. More students saw me this time and started to move towards the door. So I finally just walked in. And got a hug. And then another. And another. Until 3/4 of my students were surrounding me in a group hug. The first student in the pile was at the very bottom, but still holding on tightly. It was so cute. I haven't gotten a student group hug since I volunteered in Mrs. Classen's 1st grade classroom 3 years ago. It made me so happy.
And then I had the one student join the hug and lean on everyone so that 16+ people almost almost fell over. Of course. Hug complete.
I <3 my students.
