Lesson in Appreciation

I got to be part of an awesome lesson in appreciation.  One of my former students has to think about someone she is appreciative each month.  She, with the help of her mother, sends some token to the person she chooses.  This month she picked me!  I haven't had this child in many years.  They got me the sweetest card...

and brought cupcakes for my whole class!

I loved that I got to teach my class about why we got cupcakes!  

This is an idea that I am now going to use with my own daughter.  I might even try it within our school next year.  There are a lot of people we can thank!
