I've thought about doing this for a while, so I finally broke down in my Science class yesterday and took pictures of all my students. Of course, they all turned uncharacteristically shy on me. :D

The very first day of school I gave 5B the assignment, 'What did you do this summer?' and sat down, feeling a little unsure of my spot behind THE teacher's desk. Before I could look up I realized that Sally stood across from my desk.
Her huge dark eyes gleamed and she smiled her now-typically energetic smile, whispering, 'Miss, I'm not from Honduras either. I'm from Guatemala. Welcome!'
Yes, my heart melted. And every day her bright eyes dance as I watch new concepts click in her oh-so-fast mind.
Some students make teaching TOO much fun. Sally is one of them.
