My son got his FAVORITE teacher... again!

[Robinrs]

Two years ago I posted that my 3rd grade son thought his teacher was "FINE"...

The truth of the matter was his third grade teacher was just a beautiful woman, inside and out!

That year Michael lost his grandmother, then six months later, lost his grandfather. Through it all, Mrs. Reed was a tender, wonderful support when he was hurting more than any child should.

When he went to the fourth grade she became a 5th grade teacher. Through the ENTIRE year I had to hear "I could have her AGAIN, Mom, I could get her NEXT YEAR!!" ... yes, Michael, you COULD but maybe not... I had to be the BAD GUY... just in case...

Well, today the class list were posted. They paste them on the doors of the school the Friday before school opens every year. Michael jumped out before I could find a parking space and ran to the lists. I waited, hoping to see him jump instead of slump..

Well he JUMPED!!

I am so glad he has her again. There is nothing like loving a teacher to make a school year so much better!

I am so happy for your son. She sounds like a truly caring teacher.

That's so cool when that happens (It's terrible when the kid didn't like the teacher though!) I had my favorite nun as both my 5th & 7th grade teacher - really lucked out (some of those
nuns were really mean!)

I hope Micheal has a great year!

I'm so glad. I remember the excitement of being a kid and finding out which teacher you'd get the following year. It was always fun to find out you got someone you really liked!!

I request the teacher that I want for DD but I don't tell her because I want to pick the teacher that I think will be best- in some cases not the most popular teacher. She got her postcard today telling her that she got the teacher that we were "hoping" for. She is very excited- calling all her friends.

I'm glad that your son got a great teacher. It does make all the difference in the world.

I'm so happy for our Michael. He's going to have a great year, I'm sure of it!

Hope he has a fun and enjoyable school year.

Thanks, guys.... a small update. I heard him thanking God in his room for answering his PRAYER! This woman must be something else!

Last year she spent most of the year pregnant. She told me once she dragged herself in feeling so HUGE and uncomfortable and after lunch Michael would come to visit her with a few of his friends and they would tell her how BEAUTIFUL she was. She told me it just made her day!

Between you and me, I think SHE asked to have him in her class. She's a nurturer and he LOVES being nurtured. A good combination!

What great news Robin, That's a HUGE relief when the kids and their teacher connect so well. I think you're right, I bet Mrs. Reed hand picked him! My DS doesn't know it yet, but he did not get who he is hoping for...but I don't know anything about the teacher he did get...so I am just hoping they too form a greta connection. I do know her nick-name is Ms. Frizzle...from the Magic Schoolbus...she resembles her and is nuts about science, so that's cool!

I get so nervous when their teacher letters come. DD had her two DB's favorite fifth grade teacher for theater camp this year. Well lo and behold she and her best friend kept bugging her to see if they got her for 5th grade and she gave me the "you won't be happy" look. So I told DD probably not -- and then she started obsessing about wanting the man teacher and not the other woman who she thinks is mean (although I'm sure she is not, she might have heard her yell once or something). Short story long -- she got the man teacher who I know is wonderful too. Oldest DS got a new as yet to be hired teacher which is fine by me. Usually the first years try very hard.
