A yearly goal of mine is to create a classroom family where my Rockets learn to respect their friends (and teachers) as "family members". It is for this reason that I choose to be known as the ROCKETS versus "Mrs. Runder's class". And I love that after only a week they KNOW they are Rockets and respond as such.
This week we've had the wonderful opportunity of sharing "Family Bricks". Do not, I repeat do NOT feel pressure upon reading this. Breathe....for truth be known I appreciate these home-made masterpieces trickling in versus you slamming us with all 20 the first week of school.
Three children have shared their "bricks" with the class this week. The single regret I feel watching them share is that YOU are not able to see them. What a special time indeed when they get to sit on our ultra sacred purple cow stool, "Bessie" and take the floor to tell about the MOST cherished people (and pets) in their sweet, innocent worlds. Beaming little faces share which can only read......P R I D E.
Skyler really wants a puppy after seeing many of the bricks. She says, "I'm the only one without a puppy on my brick." :)
