Hello Anita:
ReplyDeleteHaving spent many years in education, we are acutely aware of what an enormous influence on the lives of young people teachers are. Such responsibility but also such deep satisfaction. Is there ever a more rollercoaster of a profession?!!
With every good wish for a most successful new academic year!!
Lovely Anita,
ReplyDeletethe pink eraser's wrapped to look like candy are great fun! And I imagine you make learning great fun for your students too, how lucky they are to have you as a teacher.
As always, your comments on my own post are warm and kindly written, they are VERY appreciated and most of all thank you for remembering Spotty.... he loves your hugs :)
Have a relaxing weekend, and do not overdo the housework! Abby xx
Anita, I have very much enjoyed your visits during this summer and certainly understand you are a very busy woman now that school has started. Your students are very lucky! Take care! Linda

I've got to figure out something as clever and fun as this.
Have a great school year.

You have one of the most important jobs. Thank you for choosing to be a teacher. Your students are so blessed to have you in their lives.
ReplyDeleteDanielle
I've been thinking of you all week as you "dive into" the school year. Our local teachers went on strike yesterday so we are not sure if school will open on Tuesday or not.
ReplyDeleteSummer is still ticking in the Pacific Northwest and I refuse to let it go! There are small signs of autumn coming but not many, a leaf here or there but 80 degree weather expected still for the next 10 days.
Toasting my ice cool glass of lemonade high in the air for a merry and bright school year. I hope and pray it is love filled and fun filled for you and the best school year ever!
Bonne chance! I wish you a wonderful year!!! Absolutely lovely post, once again :)

Let's fight the pollution of pettiness with joy and generosity, shall we??
Oh lovely post, you should dress up like the teacher lady here, she looks so cute in the picture. I hope you have a nice time at school, must be fun having you for a teacher.
ReplyDeleteMy husband has been a teacher all our married life, so I know a little bit about what you're feeling right now...truly a "clean slate," with endless possibilities!
ReplyDeleteI congratulate your students on having a teacher as awesome as you, and may you have a blessed schoolyear!

When I was four years old, I couldn't wait to be in kindergarten...then I couldn't wait to be on the big play ground with the first graders, then, I couldn't wait to be on the even larger playground with the 4th graders on up. In sixth grade, I was already thinking of what it would be like to be out of school and married. I had my dreams of being married to a man who drove a convertible, and I wanted two children. Then I became saved at eleven years old, and my next adventure was going to be a long distance one and that was finally being in Heaven! And life goes on, and the years roll by, and everything is precious, every tiny bit has a purpose and meaning to it. Children are precious and they have dreams, even at very young ages. I did get married, with a man who has owned 100 cars (not all at once!) some of them convertibles, and I doubled the size of my family to four children...but I am still waiting for the icing on the cake...Heaven!
ReplyDeleteMay you have a beautiful year ahead of you teaching the precious souls of children.
love, and hugs,
Teresa in California
Tardy yes but NO DETETION....just SWEET TREAT APPLES!! Tee Hee

Hello dear friend,
ReplyDeleteSo nice of you to let us all know that you are still thinking of us, even while so busy with the hustle & bustle of life and school. Your images are beautiful and always blow me away. Yes, I see "that" on your sidebar and think it covers things very well.
Have a great week back at school. I look forward to what you will share in the future with us.
Blessings and hugs to you Anita!
Oh my dearest... I just got home from Becca's first soccer trournament.... it was wonderful weekend and the trip was great but I got lots of sun, and i look like my ripe tomatoes!!!grin.
ReplyDeleteI am looking foward to this week and hopefully with can exchange some notes.
I know our students will be so blessed to have you as a teacher. It is amazing to think and imagine what kind of impact the Lord Jesus has already reserved for you and each one of them!
love you~
Good luck and remember do not work too hard, be as good to yourself as you are to your students.
ReplyDelete50 kids is a lot but think of what a difference you will make for them. I am sure that you are the teacher that these kids will speak of 20 years from now as making the biggest impression on them. Your caring loving, sunny personality surely makes you the hands down favorite.
We will be thinking of you and missing you.
Have a great time! You will find the joy in all you do! I started a pinterest account. What fun!Came here via there, actually! Take care, dear!Blessings.

Hello Anita,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet comments. We are in the last stages of moving. I will be SO glad when we're completely in our new place. Rob has hired some movers to do the really heavy lifting on Saturday. He had shoulder surgery a little of 2 months ago...and he has been already lifting more than he should. Ugh...but, what can I say? I've already said it to him! haha...Men! :)
I hope you are having a fabulous first week of school! You've got one more day and then the weekend! Yay! I hope you find some time to rest and write and create some art. Have a beautiful day, my friend.
Love,
Heidi

It was wonderful sharing struggles and encouragement over the summer!
I hope all is well! Sending much love to you!

You sweet girl, you! How dear to my heart YOU have become! What an InCreDibLe summer! Thank you for "getting" me ...all the silly little things I love, I'm glad you love, too. Staying a child at heart makes for the best kind of grown-up, don't you think?we're the ones that have the most fun and keep a smile on our faces..for we have found joy..joy in all God's creations...in the sweet little creatures He puts at our doorsteps, windows, and gardens, knowing we will love their visits...and joy in finding our creative outlets, whimsy, enchantment, the things that cause us to leap from our beds each morning...because we have missed them all the night long. We have found each other through God's amazing way of bringing kindreds together...how grateful I am for this gift of your friendship, your inspiring words, and your amazing spirit. What a blessing you are, dearest!
ReplyDeleteIt is Friday...you have made it through this first week...now breathe this weekend...refresh and renewal time:)
Hugs and love to you, Ruben, Tearat and sweet Eliza, and all your enchanting little friends at rabbit hill...the prettiest cottage in all of Minnesota,
Christie
Hope your week is going well :)

ReplyDeleteDearest Anita,
ReplyDeleteIt is Friday evening here in UK, and I was thinking of you and wondering how your first week back at school has been.
Hoping all is well with you, and thank you for stopping by my blog earlier in the week. It always makes my day when I see you have left a comment :)
Hugs from me and Spotty xx
Anita,
ReplyDeleteYou are going to love Jeanne at Collage of Life. She is such a beautiful lady inside and out and her photographs are spectacular. Oh, she also just returned from 2 weeks at a chateau in the Loire Valley!
I think you will enjoy all of her blogs.
Have a wonderful weekend my dear friend, and thank you for visiting Jeanne!
This summer has been wonderful Anita...and its been so good to chat and get to know each other!
ReplyDeleteBack to school blessings to you!!
How very fortunate your students are to have you!!

It's an awesome thought Anita to know how many precious children are getting the opportunity of a lifetime to have a teacher of your character and quality of integrity and creativity teaching them the language that so many associate with L*O*V*E. :)
ReplyDeleteThey are BLESSED! And I know they will bless you too! When the days are stressful in the classroom I want you to close your eyes and remember that YOU are their for a higher purpose and HE will continue to supply you with the strength and love to give even more of your heart to them! Just ask Him for a larger portion to give! ;)
Love you friend!
Your heart amazes me!
