Awwww…now this song can bring a smile to my face,too….
I love this song: You Are My Sunshine
4/3/2011 Last week, a charming 7 year old child came into my classroom for some extra help. She arrived with a huge smile on her face and explained that she was soooo happy about her pretty new sundress…someone had commented that she looked like a peacock….which she considered a wonderful compliment. (My guess is that someone had commented that she looked “proud as a peacock”, but she thought they meant that she looked like a peacock, which she liked, too)
She then went on to explain that she had smiled so much that day, and it was only 9:30 AM at that point, that “her cheeks hurt.”
My teacher aide, Carole, and I thought that was such a precious and wonderful comment. And so…I made her comment into a “page”.
Can you believe how incredibly fortunate teachers are to get to support such happiness in children? The gift of happiness is not just for the children we teach….it’s just as wonderful for all of us who work with children and get to support and nurture them along…

Isn’t this wonderful? I told this little girl today that i linked her words/idea to the dad of another little girl in Texas…she was thrilled….her smile filled the entire room with joy… : )
I had also made that page into a window hanger and sent her home with a whole bunch of them to give to her mom, dad, grandmas etc…and I have them up in the classroom and at home too.
And I hope you listened to “you are my sunshine” too….
