Pigs

From childhood tales of friendship and loyalty,

to modern day fairy tales like Babe,

there is something about pigs that captures the imagination.

A dear student of mine has requested to learn about these fascinating creatures.

So, learn we shall!

From why they like mud,

to what they like to eat.

We'll work hard to find out all we can discover together.

I smile when I think of the dot to dots, the "pig" sight word games and even a "pig" art project that will take place.

We will meet our standards and fulfill a wish at the same time.

The thought of the week makes my heart sigh.

Innocent curiosity and pleasure.

Mud and slop...

Smelly and dirty

or washed in buttermilk waiting for the fair judges...

The little one who requested knowledge of pigs will be so happy.

His classmates will enjoy the fun as well.

I am so sincerely blessed to be a teacher.

May the week before you,

the events yet to unfold,

be moments that touch your heart.

I pray that whatever you face,

that there will be some innocent pleasure

to bring you peace.

May you be blessed.
