It's a Brand New Year!



Last Tuesday was the first day of another school year! I'm getting to know 20 second graders and their loving families. It's always so refreshing to see the level of passionate care that parents have for their precious children. Attentive communication reigns as we discuss goals and expectations at Back to School Night. Many stay to visit a little longer than necessary. It's just so RIGHT to see families providing that level of respectful advocacy for the children's sake. It's a beautiful thing to observe and participate in as these families of second graders and I begin a year-long partnership.It's a brand new year filled with new opportunities ...And as we say every morning in Room 24,"What a great day to get up and get going!"
