I Never Knew It Meant So Much

One of the incentives for my students doing homework is to play Homeworkopoly. One of the prizes they can earn is "lunch with the teacher." One of my students won that prize last week and we had our lunch together on Wednesday. That evening I was talking to her mother about what a wonderful student her daughter is and how much fun I had while we had lunch together. Her mother said, "She was so excited to eat lunch with you. She took forever to pick out her outfit to wear that day because she wanted to look nice." I was so touched for this student to want to spend time with me, and go the extra mile to look nice. It made my day to hear her mom talk about it and say that her daughter looks up to me so much. I will keep the "lunch with teacher" prize and add more in!
