On Wednesday at 10:15 am, I walked into the fourth grade to teach them Language Arts and was greeted by a SURPRISE! Then my fifth graders came walking in shouting SURPRISE! too. I was definitely shocked and surprised!! When I looked around there were 41 smiling student faces, about 10 happy parents, teachers, a table full of beautiful cupcakes that said, Baby, with punch, and another table full of gifts for Jinnae.
I was so overwhelmed and thankful for the generosity. I started to cry after opening the gifts. The baby shower was such a kind and loving thing to do. My car's trunk and entire backseat were full of gifts. I cried again on the way home because I was so touched that my students and their parents were so kind to Rick, Jinnae and I.
My students had kept this secret since the Friday before. They did a great job - I was clueless. When I look back, I couldn't figure out why the fifth graders were so chatty during writing that day - now I know why - they were so excited about their surprise for me after recess.
My friend Lisa, asked me to cover her recess duty that morning because she said, she needed to meet with a parent about a math question. I really didn't want to cover her duty because I was going to work on report cards - but I said I would. I had parents hiding and the principal watching me go outside so they could sneak in. They did well - I didn't notice anything. It was a fun morning! Thank you students, parents and staff!!
