Reflection from a WHSCDA Teacher
There are so many other things I wish I had from the classroom, but I am thankful for what I have. The kids all smile so much when they see the wish well board. Talking to them is wonderful, almost more happening in those conversations than in anything else we could provide. The parents, even more than the kids, need to hear that they are doing good stuff, that we are there for them, etc. The days seem to hit 12 hours, but I am sure it will even out (here's hoping). Just wanted to give you an update and let you know your plan has lots of merit! How many days has it been? Feels like forever. How many left?
