Thanks and Giving ~

At Thanksgiving time, we often share with others all that we are thankful for. My family has so much to be thankful for... we are VERY thankful for all that we've been blessed with - family, friends, health and happiness.

The list goes on (click to see last years list). One of my sisters suggested

we focus on the giving part of the holiday, so we are trying to focus

on how we can GIVE more of ourselves this holiday season.

How can you give of yourself this time of year?

Don't just count your blessings, make your blessings count!

My little students

"She is off to a wonderful start in Kindergarten! It is a great pleasure to have such a special little girl in my classroom. I enjoy her quiet, observant nature and her calm, friendly personality! I am so pleased to notice how much she enjoys her school environment, school activities, and even school work. She always does her best and is a lovely listener and participant! She is well liked and well behaved. I am enjoying her drive to learn, she is an emergent reader now. I look forward to a great year of fun and learning with her!"

"He is off to a great start in Third grade. He has

fantastic comprehension skills. He is a very interesting

and creative writer. His understanding of math skills and

concepts far exceeds that of a typical third grader.

I would like him to work on letting me know when he is ready

to move on to something more challenging during our lessons.

He works hard towards a positive atmosphere in our

classroom. Keep up the great work!"
