Goodbye 2012-2013

WOW! I cannot believe that this year has flown by so quickly! I feel like I was just introducing myself to my new class full of darling firsties just last week! How can they already be second graders? This year has been one of my favorites!

Our class has been so involved in our community and trying to make others smile this year. I am most proud of their accomplishments that are outside of the academic circle. They have learned to work together cooperatively, lift each other up, cheer each other on, rejoice in each others accomplishments and spread love and smiles throughout our school and to the other side of the world! I am STILL counting the amount of shoes our class was able to send to Africa this year through the SOLE HOPE organization. It is an amazing mission that these young children have embraced. I am so thankful for a group of parents that supports their children in helping others they way you all have this year!

My hope for your children leaving first grade is that they remember the power they have to make a difference. They can choose whether it will be a positive or negative difference. This generation that we are raising will be the change we want to see in the world if we let them listen to their hearts and follow their dreams.

Thank you for all of your support and encouragement this year! I have loved every minute of this year and am truly crushed to see it come to an end so soon! Enjoy the video!
