I'm back! And I have affirmations!!

So after conferences I honestly was so relieved and then immediately overwhelmed with the second quarter starting I let my blog get away from me!  I will try to be better at posting regularly, probably not as good as my cousin Nicole though :) 

So now that we are into November and thankfulness is a huge part of this month I want to share something we do at our school.  All teachers, paras, and administration in our school have been trained in Capturing Kids Hearts, a program where we work daily to connect with our students on a more personal level.  Something I really like and had forgotten about until another teacher started them this month is the Affirmations.  We take a moment to write a quick note to someone.  It can be for anything but has to be kind.  I have received a few in my box from students.  Some simply say "thank you" while others were longer letters explaining what they appreciate about me and/or my class. 


Often times we tell our students that they are doing well but having a hand written note is just amazing.  It doesn't take much time but makes a huge impression! I see nearly 140 students every day but I am going to try to write them a short note before Thanksgiving so they know that I am proud of each and everyone of them!
