Welcome to 2013, a wonderful new "fresh start". As all the children entered today after being away for two weeks, the excitement of being with people you missed and that you enjoy learning and working with was palpable. We are truly fortunate to have such a caring and respectful class who work so well together.
A new year always reminds me to take stock of all things I am thankful for. A friend the other day remarked that she has learned a lot from her children, and it got me thinking that I am truly lucky to be a teacher, as I have learned so much from all of the children I have taught, in addition to the lessons my own children have imparted. We can learn so much from others, and this year I hope we can all learn from all the different, special talents and perspectives that we bring and appreciate each other as both learners and teachers . We are all works in progress, but together we can become a masterpiece!
Here's to another wonderful, new year of adventure and learning!
