New Teacher Tales
In my first year of teaching I received a lovely Valentine box of chocolates from a little girl in my first grade class. When I opened them all the chocolates were gone except the one in the center and it had a thumbprint in the middle of it. Below the chocolate was a note that said, "I love you." This was a very special gift.
