You may be out of my sight… but never out of my mind…

Thinking of You!

As I sit here, I am thinking about all the things we would be doing together at school.  I would be watching you turning into mature little minds who make me think on my feet and make decisions at a snap of a finger.  Your smiles, your laughter, your curiosity, your kindness and your generosity all get me through my day.  I am thinking about all the good times we had and how much we learned together. I am also thinking about how things are so different now, but that we are making the most of it.  We are trying things we haven’t tried before and we are growing together in a different way.  Thank you for being so patient and trying things that you haven’t had to try before.

As I sit here, this is how I feel:

Thankful

Hopeful

Inspired

Nurtured

Kindness

Imaginative

Needed

Grateful

What are some things that you are thinking about and how are you feeling as you are thinking about them?

Hello Division 18!

I still remember the first day of school like it was yesterday. You were all so eager to start Kindergarten. We read a story together and played a game to learn everyone’s name.

In our time together you learned so many things. How to read, write, count to 100 and much more. The most important thing you learned was what it meant to be a good friend. You played with others, took turns, worked through problems and practiced patience. Way to go!

I wish we had more time together in the classroom and that things were not as they are. I wish that we could see each other and dance around the classroom. But unfortunately things are different and we have to make it work in a different way. I am always here for you and your families. They know how to reach me if you need me for anything.

We will get through this together and always remember that I believe in you and know you are capable of great things that will make a better world.

Love always,

Mrs. Minhas
