Okay, I don't always laminate their work, but I thought they would want these after they left my classroom in May, but their reaction at seeing the work published and laminated was not what I expected. As my students walked out of the classroom and were able to look at everyone's words one student exclaimed to her friend, "Wow! I guess Ms. Snow really liked our words, she made them shiny!" I giggled and said, "Actually, I think they are wonderful, beautiful and well thought out." They grinned and went on to music. Sometimes it is the little things in life that we appreciate the most.
