Happy Monday!
I want to take a quick minute and thank each and every one of you for so many things! 1. Thank you for keeping all of my students safe over winter break :) No broken bones that I know of yet! 2. Thank you for thinking of me during the holiday season and writing the sweetest cards to me! You all provide me with so much joy each and every day. 3. Thank you for trusting me with your children every day. It was very hard to get up this morning and drag myself to school since my sleep schedule is off. It took 2 minutes for the students to cheer me up and remind me why I love getting up so early every day. They put a smile on my face and turned what I expected to be a bad day into an amazing one.
