Prayers, last day, and linky

I just learned today about the horrible events that happened yesterday. I am beyond heartbroken for those families that were that were involved in the horrific devastation of yesterdays tornado. The thought of being at school while that was happening is unimaginable. There are a lot of ways we can reach out to this community. One way is donating to The Red Cross or the Salvation Army. I am sure there are other ways to reach out but these were two ways I heard on the radio this morning on the way to school.
So today was the inevitable last day of school. Let me just say that I was absolutely blown away by gift that my parents got for me. I uploaded it on instagram….but just in case you missed it 🙂
This sign is huge. They had a local artist make it for me. I could not love it more. I knew that my room mom knew about my blog but I didn’t know they actually read it or new that it was such an important part of my daily life. I have no words to explain how I felt when I opened this.
On the back they all signed their names and wrote this:
It was such a special gift and I am hanging it above my door right by my desk so it will be the first thing people see when they walk in to my classroom.
And if that wasn’t enough, I had a mom (that’s a photographer) make me my own book. It is so beautiful and it is something that I am going to treasure forever and ever. The pictures are absolutely stunning. I was doing good with holding it all together until I got this. Then the Mom who made it for me started to tear up and I was a puddle from then on. I was beyond blessed by a wonderful group of parents and students.
