It happens fast

It has been a long time since my last post and I apologize for this! This past weekend, I had the pleasure of attending my daughter's college graduation. This moment came very quickly when I reflect over her academic career. It seems like just yesterday that she was in first grade! 

When you spend a year teaching children, your hope is that they have learned academically as well as socially. I have witnessed some great interactions among the students lately. They know that their first grade year is coming to an end. The same kids they see each day they may not see over the summer break. They are using the I messages they learned over the year, they are trying to encourage one another, and they want to see their classmates be successful. This is what a community looks like! It takes time to build but in the end is worth it. The year happens fast!
