Let me start with a note of gratitude: I am grateful for summer vacation. I am grateful for the opportunity to reconnect with family and friends, to travel, to garden, to read, to rest. I savor it because it is a gift, and I savor it because it will come to an end.
I am grateful that summer comes to an end. Because there is excitement in transition…excitement in the dog days of summer giving way to fall…excitement in getting back to work, back to a routine…excitement in restoring our classroom to a cheerful, brimming, bustling space…excitement in seeing the enthusiastic smiles of our students and their families as they return to reclaim and reinvent another school year.
Welcome everyone, to the 2012-2013 school year! I am so grateful to be back at school with you! It is a privilege to collaborate with you in creating a wonderful place for children–a place where children can…
Experiment…
Observe…
Create…
Move (run, dance, jump, spin, dig, build)…
Connect with nature…
Curl up with a good book…
Build meaningful relationships…
Make a mess!
Childhood is a gift, and it can pass so quickly–may we savor these unique and precious moments with children.
Thank you for being part of our LCP community.
Here’s to a wonderful, fun-filled year!
With love,
Robannie
