I found out a HUGE secret to successful tutoring today - I asked a 4th grader that I tutored when she was in 1st grade why she is so nice to me now, but wasn't before. Another student interrupted as if it was so logical: "It's because you wear VANS now, and you didn't before...." OOOOOH. Take note everyone.

A lovely first grader wrote me a thank you card that said "Ms.Sandy I'm thankful you work here because you care about me." it's such an amazing feeling to know I'm making a difference in someone elses life but little do these kids know how big of an impact they make on my life, just another great day at Meadow View!

The 3rd grade surprises me almost everyday. There is always one student, no matter when I come in, he always gives me a hug, and makes me feel welcome in his class. Today another student asked me what do I want to be when I grow up? After he told me he thought I was 30 years old, I told him the only thing I want to do when I grow up, is work with kids like him!

The sweetest thing I have ever heard was by a 1st grade student today who said, " Mr. Johnson, I am so thankful you work here. You make my life by being my friend." ♥

I got a gift from my secret buddy at school today and it was written by a student... the note states: "Here are a pear of holidai earrings to match your beutiful red hair!". It made my day nonetheless.
