Thank you!

Thank you for attending Parent night last week! 

It was so nice to see so many of you Wednesday night. There is never enough time to fit everything in, but hopefully you all were able to get a sense of what is most important in our classroom. I am posting my presentation as well as the student slideshow for anyone who would like a second look or wasn't able to make it. If you have any questions after viewing the presentations please don't hesitate to contact me. Together, we will make this a truly memorable and educational year for the kids. It reminds me of a poem I read recently:

"Whose Child is This? Whose child is this?" I asked one day Seeing a little one out at play.
"Mine", said the parent with a tender smile "Mine to keep a little while.
To bathe her hands and comb her hair To tell her what she is to wear
To prepare her that she may always be good
And each day do the things she should" 

"Whose child is this?" I asked again As the door opened and someone came in 

"Mine", said the teacher with the same tender smile 

"Mine, to keep just for a little while 

To teach her how to be gentle and kind 

To train and direct her dear little mind 

To help her live by every rule 

And get the best she can from school" 

"Whose child is this?" I ask once more 

Just as the little one entered the door 

"Ours" said the parent and the teacher as they smiled 

And each took the hand of the little child 

"Ours to love and train together 

Ours this blessed task forever."
