She Knows Me Well!

I said goodbye to my student teacher last week. She has been with me since the first week in January and is an excellent teacher. And, just as she knew our students very well, she knew me well, too.

As a thank you gift, Caitlin gave me a painting - an original watercolor of a horse by an artist who lives in the nearby town of Delphi.

Caitlin was so excited about it that she had me open it before the kids arrived! Then we rewrapped it and I opened it in front of the students later that morning. I also gave her a painting - and we laughed at the coincidence.

I can't wait to get mine framed. It will be a lovely remembrance of a young woman who also became a dear friend.
