We began the day singing America the Beautiful from a picture book in honor of our Veterans this year. Then we wrote letters to friends, fathers, and others who have served our country so faithfully. It was a great day to remember and learn about those who have sacrificed for our country.
Felix is also such an important member of our classroom community. I found him several years ago when he was readily available in the US, but he is now very hard to locate. Each day when some takes him home I include a picture book of his from my collection. One parent came in this morning and mentioned she had looked for the book online to purchase. The only copies of the book available were uses...selling for between $100 and $200 dollars! So handle with care!! :) Students write about what they've done and draw or take pictures to include with their entry. We are completing his first round of visits today with Hannah...so look for him to come for a visit again soon.
Sitting outside waiting for parents to arrive a former parent stopped me with words of wisdom.
"Life," she said "is like a roll of toilet paper. The more you get into it the faster it goes." Such wisdom!
