A room full of Residency students with anchor teachers and university supervisors. There are approximately 10-15 additional people who are not pictured that belong to this group.

We often tell our teacher candidates to keep a file of the things students do or say that are funny, loving, or just plain extra to pull out on those hard days as a reminder of why we teach. I started adding mine to Facebook years ago and they pop up in my memories as the one pictured below did today.

Feel free to drop one of your favorite kid-isms in the comments.

Happy graduation day! We are so very proud of all our graduates!
