Teacher Appreciation

I'm linking up for the last Hip Homeschool Hop of 2010 at The Homeschool Chick! Also, I love linking up with Teach Me Tuesday, at A Bokros Kind of Life. Today I wanted to share what my six year old son put in my stocking this year..... it made all of the adjustments, sacrifices, and sometimes difficult days of homeschooling come into sharp focus for me.
As if my day couldn't get any better, my nine year old daughter declared at dinner (when asked by a family member how school was going?) that she "loves to learn and has the best teacher in the world - mommy!" I can't believe I was EVER worried she and I would butt heads and she would probably learn better from "someone else".
When it comes right down to it, the decision to home educate our children was the RIGHT ONE... and it feels good to hear it from my students sometimes, too!

Doesn't it just melt your heart and confirm for you that HS is so right for you and your kids. We feel the same way! Rock on in 2011 momma!
I love it! I love how God gives us the affirmation we sometimes need in life through our kids! :)
Hopping from the HipHopHomeschool -
So glad to find you! Be blessed!

We all need that affirmation once and a while! And to get it from BOTH your children! Savor the moment!!
Two of the best Christmas presents a mom could get from her children! How sweet!
how sweet! I'm sure that was a fun moment for you! we all need to hear that once and awhile :) visiting from the hop!
Just precious! I love it when kids do something special like that! Thanks for joining in the Hip Homeschool Hop!
That's the very best compliment...the one that comes from the kids! My daughter is 8 and I had the same fear that we would clash, but I think homeschooling brought us closer together.
How wonderful! it just doesn't get better than that!
Maybe I should add TEACH ME TUESDAY to my hops today...LOL
What sweet comments from your children. Wow. "Her children rise up and call her blessed..."
I came across your site through the homeschool hop and thought I would share a creative writing site for kids (and adults) that I have just set up - come and see the "I Wonder Chronicles for literacy and creativity" - use the prompts and add to the wonder!
