thursday was my last day student teaching the sixth graders. i also had a job interview in ogden. then, that night i went to the sunrise elementary kindergarten opera. my kindergarteners have been working on this opera for months. did you know that kindergarteners could write, try out for parts, rehearse, and perform an opera? well, they can. and it was incredible. so incredible. it was one of those moments. one of those moments that remind you of your passion for teaching. they put so much work into it and they owned it. if you watched it you would be surprised that they were kindergarteners. i was so impressed with their performance. i'm glad that i had a small part. after, i went up to the classroom to congratulate them and another one of those moments happened. one of those moments where you have 15 to 20 white-faced kindergarteners surrounding you all trying to give you a hug and telling you how much they miss you. one of those moments when you miss them so much. one of those moments that make all the work that goes into teaching worth it.
one of those moments.
