This is a great time to reflect on the year so far. Christmas music playing (actually the Frozen soundtrack, go SEE IT), kids drawing winter scenes to decorate the gym or working on fun crosswords, word searches or Christmas math booklets and just enjoying the company of their fellow students.
We have worked very hard this year on becoming a tight knit group. Like a family we have little bumps along the road but they always serve as an example of what we need to work harder to keep from happening again.
The kids are very excited about their concert and do an amazing job with their songs. Looking forward to it finishing up and the 2 weeks to spend recharging and getting ready for the rest of the year. It is crazy to think we are already almost half way done. This year is flying by. It is true what they say about time flying when you are having fun.
I am continually amazed by the empathy and compassion and love that my students show for each other almost all the time. With the busyness of the holiday season the kids start to get a bit crazy and forget how much they care about each other. This week there has been more bumpy rides than smooth ones but then today a student came up with her picture of Rudolph with the caption "Never give up on dreams" It was exactly what I needed to flip the positive attitude switch.
So grateful for these amazing 8 year olds.
Learning every day together. I couldn't ask for a better job!
Merry Christmas.
Mr.G
