The Preschool Times

Well here it is; Thanksgiving weekend and the official start of the holiday season. As many of us gather with our families and friends over the next month, we will be given many opportunities to express our love physically and financially.  However, when all is said and done, it is the times we share together which will warm our hearts!

Thanksgiving is a holiday set aside for us to remember the gifts we have received. Studies have shown that practicing gratitude not only improves your outlook but can actually improve your health. So in the spirit of the season, I am going to do the healthy thing and practice gratitude:

I am thankful for the children I spend my days and weeks with; they keep me young.

I am thankful for the smiles, laughs and constant questions that fill our hours together; they humble me and remind me I have a lot to learn.

I am thankful for the fulfilling feeling I receive each time a child accomplishes a skill or task that has eluded them before; it challenges me to do more.

I am thankful for the parents who have teamed with us to make our school the best; it fills me with a sense of pride.

I am thankful for the parents who show up at: conferences, parties, parades, parent meetings and fundraisers; they help instill a sense of importance.

I am thankful for our faculty who tirelessly strive for new ways to address each individual learning style; they keep education a priority.

I am thankful for our faculty who come joyfully to work despite their own lives many complications; they provide us with consistency.

I am thankful for the school’s owners because they have never asked me to compromise quality for profit; it helps me sleep easy at night.

I am thankful for my family; for they are the rock that supports me when I need to rest.

I am thankful for the opportunity to live free; it gives me a reason to be educated.

Peace and Light,

Miss Grace
