Thank You So Much

Dear Families,
I want to thank you soo very much for the extremely thoughtful gifts that were given to me today. There was so much thought put into each one of those gifts. You know me so well. It was such a pleasure to have your children in my class this year. I loved my third graders, but am so happy that I made the switch to first grade. It opened a whole new world for me! I have learned so much from each and every one of them. The biggest thing that I learned from your kids this year is to slow down and appreciate life. I will never forget when I gave a child a pencil, the kind where you pull it out of the bottom when it's dull and push the little piece in the top to get a new pencil point, and he looked at me and said, "How does this work?" It was amazing to watch his reaction as he discovered this new thing. The students' love for life, carefree attitudes and open hearts helped me gain a whole new meaning of life and an even bigger appreciation for my own little ones. Thank you for sharing your children with me this year! I've enjoyed every moment. The laughs, the tears and the smiles.....
Love,
Mindy :)
