Kindness
They weren't random, but they were acts of kindness.Today, when Allegra's mom came in to help the kids with math, she brought me this ornament. She said Allegra had told her about my breakdown last week, and she wanted me to know they were thinking of me and hoping that everything will turn out all right.
And a colleague of mine, who is an adoptive mom to two precious little girls, left a card on my desk today offering me her support.
I was really touched by their actions and my spirits were lifted, too.

Don't you wish that everyone knew what a blessing our students are? I think that some kids (espeically the older ones) get such negative stereotyping and it is such a shame. One of my girls brought me fundip today as she knew I had received bad news about Cheetah.

Too cool. I like it when people take the time to say they care in ways unique to them and for us.
