Teacher Moment-Happy Mother's Day!

It was Friday; the Friday before Mother's Day. The students had made Mother's Day cards and a coupon. The coupon's were for things like: washing the dishes, vacuuming the carpet, taking out the trash, and other such helpful tasks. I wanted to leave the kids with an important Mother's Day message: "Guys, don't forget it's Mother's Day. Go home and appreciate her, she does a lot for you!" Many students then said, "But, Ms. Hernandez, you're like a mother because you do a lot for us." Another student said," Yeah, you're like a mother, but you also teach us stuff." That was one of my biggest teacher moments of the year.
