I'll bet that got your attention! We had a great turn out for our Open House. I've always left paper on the desks so parents can leave a little "love note" for their child to read the next morning. It is always amusing to watch the expression on their faces as they read them. Some can't wait to share it with the entire class, while others feign embarrassment when you just know they loved getting it.
I used two of my favorite quotes on the board this week. The first was, "Teachers open the door, but you must enter." This one gives us a chance to talk about the idea that you have to make the effort to learn and become a great student. It's not going to be easy, and there are always things you don't understand at first, but you can never give up.
The other quote was,"Books are the one true magic carpet." I want to share with them my love of reading, so they know that there is so much to gain by enjoying a good book. A public library card is free, and it can be your "ticket" to anywhere your imagination wants to go.
