>PTA decided to extend Teacher Appreciation Week to be two weeks long. They asked kids to bring in flowers. Despite the poor quality photo from my cell phone camera, I think you can see that I feel appreciated. Yes, that’s my messy desk behind the vase. Hey, it’s May. My workload is at its heaviest right now. In other words, it’s the perfect time for kids to give me flowers.

But I must say I like these flowers even better.

P.S. PTA gave us “breakfast” in the lounge at recess, including Starbucks coffee. W00T!!
