Happy Thanksgiving

I wanted to make a special post and wish my classroom families a Happy Thanksgiving.  I hope you are able to spend some much needed time with your family and enjoy those moments together.

I also wanted to let you know how thankful I am for every single kiddo in our classroom as well as the family that support them.   Each and every child in our classroom holds a special place in my heart, and I thank you for sharing them with me for these 9 months.  Each child brings a positive spark into our classroom, a gentle spirit or a lively chatter, a continuous smile or a burst of knowledge. Each child has an important place in our classroom and I am soo thankful to be a part of their learning this year.

I have learned so much from your child too.  I have been reminded to slow down and follow their lead. I've learned that we all need breaks and in different ways. I've learned to teach the same material in a different way, to stretch my mind and better meet the needs of the children. Your child has helped me grow as a teacher and a parent.  They have taught me to find those learning moments in places that I least expect them, to find different ways of looking at what we're doing.

And I'm thankful for you, our parents.  I truly believe that the relationships between home and school has a big impact on student learning.  I am thankful for your continued support and your dedication to helping make your child's school year an important focus.  I appreciate the openness and relationships that we've started to build, between parent and teacher.

So as we get this break from school, I hope you are able to find things that you are thankful for.  I hope you get to find some special time with your kiddo during the break, time to tell them that you're thankful for their smiles, personalities, and for them being there.

To my Fremont families.....HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
