Teacher For The Day




At Gracie's school benefit in March we bid on & won the "Teacher For The Day" item. This fun experience was made for Gracie as she absolutely loves school & plays school at home all the time.  Today was her BIG DAY.  Ms. Rothleutner was to arrive a half hour early so she could greet her students.  And she was to dress like a teacher too.  She was so excited that she barely ate her breakfast & stood at the door with her backpack on for about 15 minutes waiting to leave for school.  She kept saying "Mommy, are you ready yet as I don't want to be late?!?!" When we arrived they had printed a special teacher badge...it read "Ms Rothleutner" with a picture of her on it.  I snapped a few pictures as they reviewed the lesson plans for the day.  She lead the the class through opening prayer & the weather & got to walk them to library & gym all by herself.  For lunch her teachers took her to McDonald's where they all had hamburgers & fries :)  When they got back she lead the math & science lessons for the day.  When I picked her up, her teachers said that she "knocked it out of the park" & that her calling is to become a teacher. I told Gracie that on the walk home & she said "I know mommy, I dreamt about being a teacher all last night" :)  A BIG thanks to daddy who made sure that no one out bid us at the auction so that Gracie could be teacher for the day!!!  What a memory for her :)
