Let's see -- I also celebrate choosing a read aloud book that makes my students beg me to "read another chapter" (and not just to get out of doing work), a right answer from a student who rarely gives one, and a thank you email from a parent for doing something small for their child that apparently meant a great deal.Dianne K.
