Thank you!

Thank you for the super support during the two days of kindergarten testing. Those two days are only possible if we all work together--it is truly a team effort! It is such an honor to speak about Trinity to incoming parents but it is even more of an honor to experience your classrooms on a daily basis. It is truly a blessing!

As I visit classrooms, I am continually overwhelmed with the amount of care and prayer that you put into your classrooms. I made a mental list last week as I was visiting. These are some of the things I am so thankful for as I visit:

*loving, warm, relaxed atmosphere
*intentional planning so curriculum flows and is integrated together whenever possible
*passion for teaching children and being at school
*patience in all things (and I do mean all things)
*understanding for unique circumstances
*asking questions that require students to think more deeply
*allowing children time to answer (and feel comfortable gathering their thoughts)
*the kind and positive way in which you answer and approach students
*intentionally using technology in the best way possible for a certain subject area

Bless you. I know these things don't just happen by accident. You are doing a great job!
