It flies Ms. Susan!

Kindergarten kiddos can be a challenge. I suppose if they could put into words their thoughts, they might say the wishes of adults are sometimes hard to comply with. Some weeks of teaching are easier than others. This was not one of the breezy weeks. However, there were moments of sincere pleasure, for the little ones and for me as well. The bitty one pictured above truly enjoyed creating a creature during our "Animal Parts" Science lesson.

One paper bag... a little bit of recycled newspaper... two wiggly eyes... a couple of feathers... two paper wings... It really takes very little to make imaginations soar. The smile on this small dear one's face was one of the highlights of my week.

I truly love the moments when students are engaged, happy and learning; they make teaching worth while.

I pray that your evening is calm, your weekend full of recuperative powers and that deep in your heart you are at peace.

Now and always,
May you be blessed.
