| And on that exciting note, guess what we have on Thursday... |
"God did not say, "Let there be..." as He had for everything else. When He dreamed of a face like yours, His voice filled with the gentlest love, and He smiled. "Let us make human beings..."
God the Father gathered close with God the Son, Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit, and all the glory of the Trinity gathered close when They imagined the masterpiece of you. And God in three persons scooped a handful of dust together and knelt down, and together They kissed warm life into God's children with the breath of His love." Unwrapping the Greatest Gift. Ann Voskamp
Oh boy. It's humbling to be reminded of this truth. You are God's masterpiece. Your students are God's masterpieces. God has placed you in their lives and they in yours. He has charged you with growing His masterpieces by calling upon your faith in Him and utilizing the gifts He has blessed you with. No wonder there is such joy on your face when I get to peek in and watch you teach. You are where you were called to be. God is with you. Immanuel. His masterpieces are in the right hands and they are realizing the potential God has intended for them. So, yes, bring on the meetings and the PD dates. You're His growing masterpiece as well. Thank you for being the very best YOU!
World Renew Collection and Chapel
Our World Renew collection will run through next Friday, the 11th. If you are able to give your money and orders to Pat or to me by Monday, the 14th, we'll have a grand total and fund allocation for our chapel on the 16th. There may be wisdom in reminding parents of the final week of collection for World Renew in your next classroom blog post.
Makers Week
I'm starting to shop :) If you are ready and able, please place your project ideas and materials here if you haven't already done so. If you need help, feel free to scan what other teachers are doing or talk with me. We'll come up with a doozy!
Lunch and Learn
Our next staff meeting will be Thursday, December 10. Please bring along your Love and Logic booklet. Lunch will be provided! YIPPEEE!
Lunch and Massage....wait, WHAT?!?!
Yep. That's right. A lunch and a massage. Back to Health Chiropractic is offering free lunch and tension checks (tick...tick...no problems here!) for local teachers. They make the rounds on Fridays. They have offered to bring lunch to us and evaluate our tension (don't ask me why they chose teachers in December!) on Friday, December 11.

Rubicon
Thank you for all the planning, collaborating and hard work you have put into documenting the goals you are teaching. This has taken a lot of time to get placed into Rubicon. Our ELA Rubicon clean ups for K-2 are almost complete. PHEW! Please let me know if there are any ways I can assist you in taking this off your to-do list.
