Every year is different and our
kids grow and develop and our
year is almost over. The kids will
have the summer to do more
growing and maturing, and when
the school year begins again in
August we will have new kids plus
our "old kids", they will be older,
wiser and off we will go.
Time marches on.
***Due to continued clean up for
a minor flood in our basement,
I am finishing the challenge early.
Saturday is technically the last day.
I hope you have enjoyed my posts
for this challenge. We will resume
regular programming next week.

V is Village.
We have heard the phrase
"It takes a village" many
times. "A belief that it takes
an entire community to raise
a child. A child has the best
ability to become a healthy
adult if the entire community
takes an active role in contrib-
uting to the rearing of the child."
~~~ Hillary Clinton
At school "it takes a village
to educate our kids." We
welcome the chance to work
with our kids, see their goals
met, watch them meet their
milestones, celebrate with
them, comfort them and
learn from them.
Thanks Karen (Over The
Backyard Fence) for jogging
my memory on this.

U stands for:
Ugly
Unable
Underdog
Understand
Unfortunate
Unhappy
Unique
Unite
Unknown
Unusual
Upset
Us
These are words that could describe
our kids at a variety of times. They
are used by adults and children who
do not know our kids use to describe
them.
They are very judgmental, hurtful
and unnecessary in my opinion.
We spend time "educating" the
kid's peers about our kids, so they
can get to know each other better.
So our kids are:
Beautiful
Able
Winners
Fortunate
Happy
Very Unique
We UNITE for our kids
Well known
Remarkable
We work very hard to lessen
the upsets
Us, we, community, group, class

T is for Teacher.
A person who teaches or instructs,
usually in a school setting. BUT
there are many others in our
children's lives who "teach."
So, at school we have :
Lead teachers--
Those responsible for all the fun
stuff that goes along with being
the lead.
Paras--
Those that work as closely with
the students as the teachers, they
also assist in the classroom with
data collection, recess duty, rest-
room assistance and much more.
In our district, they are assigned
to the Special Ed dept.
Aides--
They are usually in the general ed
rooms assisting with the class
activities, covering a class while
the teacher is in a meeting and
sometimes they get cafeteria duty
too.
Speech, OT, PT, Music and Vision
therapists--
These people are more specialized
and focus on a specific need a
student may have.
Art. Library, Music and PE--
They are another group of specialized
group of teachers.
Classroom volunteers--
Under the guidance of the classroom
staff they assist where needed.
First and foremost are Parents--
Our children's first teacher.
Children don't come with handbooks
so we all do the best we can to provide
for our kids.
Oh, let's not forget our
Grandparents--
They are some of THE BEST teachers
we could have.
If you know another "TEACHER, "
thank them.
