Playing, Creating, Learning, Growing: What I'm Thankful For....

Okay, I apologize for missing a full two weeks of blogging. Between parent/teacher conferences and Thanksgiving, there was a lot going on. I should be back on my regular blogging schedule now though!

I know I'm a little late in this post, but I wanted to take some time to mention all the things I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving/holiday season.

I'm thankful for each and every one of my awesome young friends. They bring smiles to my face every single day and make all the work completely worth it.
I'm thankful for the SON Shine families. You all care so much about your children, and I am so grateful you let me be a part of their lives.
I'm thankful for the parent board members. You five ladies help me make many, many decisions and plan our fabulous events. I certainly couldn't make SON Shine the place it is without you!
I'm thankful for the staff of Salem Lutheran Church. They are always there to lend a helping hand whenever I need it. Their support means so very much to me.
I'm thankful for the members of the state legislature who fought hard to keep the Statewide Voluntary Preschool Program going. Being able to release the financial burden preschool can have from the shoulders of the families is a fantastic thing, and I know it is helping all of you!
Lastly, on a more personal note, I'm thankful for my own family and friends who support me and provide me a chance to step away from SON Shine and relieve some stress.

I hope you had a fabulous Thanksgiving! I'll leave you with some pictures from Monday and Tuesday.

We made body tracings and the children used all kinds of materials to decorate them. (They're hanging in the hallway outside our classroom, so feel free to check them out!)
