The time has come to say good bye to another school year. It amazes me every year how quickly time passes by. To me as the teacher of the toddler class it is a time of  reflection. Thinking back on the first day of school waiting in anticipation and wonder to get to know the new toddlers. The names I have in front of me turn to life as I see them one by one walking through the doors of the toddler room.  " They are babies."  That's the first thought that comes to my mind every year. Then I say a silent prayer asking for patience and courage to be a good teacher to all the little ones.

During the course of the year the toddlers from the first unsteady steps grow into confident walkers. I think I should say runners. They come running into the room to greet me and that truly warms my heart to see the confidence and faith they have in me. Of course there are the good days and the not so good days but every day is a new day to be with the little ones.

My thanks go out to all the parents for sharing your precious little ones with me. I am indeed grateful for giving me these wonderful memories that I will always have of your child, and hope that I have been able to give your child the confidence that he needs to go in  search of knowledge and to dream the impossible dreams.
 

Shabbat Shalom,
