One year when I was teaching second grade, a new child entered our class mid-year. His name was Daniel, and he brought a special light to our class.
Daniel came over to me one afternoon at the end of the school day. He said, “Ms. Johnson, I have a note for you from my old teacher. It’s not on paper though, it’s in my head.” Daniel leaned over and said, “She wanted me to tell you how lucky you are to have me in your class!”
