TWAS February 8th

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all managing to get through this cold without too much inconvenience!  The children have been fantastic.  These blue days can be extremely challenging for those of us who need to run and be free — they have all risen to the challenge! 

A note about valentine's day:  We will be enjoying a little valentine's celebration on Wednesday.  The children are welcome to bring valentines.  For those who do wish to hand out valentines, we do ask that there is one for each of our 20 students. There's no need to worry about names. They can address it Dear Valentine or something similar.  This also helps with reading anxiety during delivery time :)  If your child really wants to put names on then email me and I'll send you a list of first names.


This week the children composed the blog; enjoy and please email or call if you have a questions or are looking for clarification (*accompanying pictures below).
