Letters

Last week I sent my kindergarten kids a letter asking them to send me a picture and a story about how they were doing.

I thought I was helping them get through this unusual time with a little link to school and to me.

But it turned out THEY are helping ME to get through these neverending days of planning and designing. 

I get emotional with each letter that I open,  I cry happy tears for their adventures and  triumphs. I cry sad tears for their sense of loss at not being at school with me and their friends. I am touched by the words of love for me and school and each other.  I am moved to tears by the handwritten notes full of gratitude and kindness the parents tucked in amongst the colorful drawings and stickers.

So,  thank you,  k kids and parents!  You really made a difference in my life!
