What a Wonderful Week!

WOW! What a wonderful week we've had. It's been full of lots of learning. I've been learning about my students, and they've been learning about me.

As I reflect over our first week, it amazes me that the students have already overcome many challenges. Eleanor Roosevelt said "You must do the thing you think you cannot do." I'm sure many of us, no matter how young or old, can think of something we were not sure we could do. What impresses me most about the students in my class is they continue to try. From the smallest things such as learning to stand in line quietly to keeping a neat desk, our class has continued to move forward and offer their very best. That is a WONDERFUL thing!

A New School Year

FAREWELL and WELCOME!

We are leaving summer behind and entering into a new school year. This new year will be full of new beginnings-- new experiences prayerfully inspired by God used to draw us closer to Him.

I am thrilled to be at The Heiskell School as a first grade teacher again this year. Delightful thoughts bounce around my mind as I think about the new class that will enter my door next week. I think about the wonderful things we'll discover this year. Parents, now is the perfect time to prepare your child for their big transition next week. Talk with your child about the first days of first grade. Perhaps you might check out a library book about it . I think you'll find talking about what new things your child will experience this year may alleviate your little person's back to school jitters (and perhaps yours as well). I certainly pray this will be an exciting year and that God's blessings will continue to rest upon us all!
