I am the luckiest girl in the world… During a lesson on the Industrial Revolution today, I was explaining the definition of an ‘apprentice.’

I used a few examples, and then said how last year I was like an apprentice teacher during my internship.

One of my little nuggets shouts out, “But Ms. Kivela, you’re a great teacher!” another one chimes in, “Yeah, you’re the best!” There were a few other comments that happened at the same time so I couldn’t make them out individually.

Completely unprovoked, adorable, and heartwarming- I think I’m starting to win them over! Every day I’m reminded how incredibly lucky I am to have my own classroom in Region 12.
