Since school is out before Father's Day here in Utah, I don't get the chance to have another giggle from my first graders. (See post about mother's day) But I can only imagine what they might say.
It's probably good that we don't make it to Father's Day during the school year. Father's Day is a lot harder and trickier (as a teacher) to celebrate. Many of the students at my school on only live with mom. Sad, yes. True, yes. And there's nothing I can do about it.
The local newspaper here "The Daily Herald" printed at least 3 different articles about fathers and the deep, positive influence they have on a child's life. I read through one of those articles and was truly touched by the author's words and grateful that I grew up and still have a two-parent home. I'm thankful that my daughter has a daddy who loves the heck out of her and I hope when she is older that she realizes how blessed she is to have a GOOD male role model in her home. The article I read basically pointed out how there aren't enough good dads in this world, but to those who are good dads, BLESS YOU and THANK YOU! It's quite good for how short it is. I think I might keep it.
Anyway, this is kind of not a school related post, but enjoy it anyway.
Love,
Teacher ('cuz that's what my kidlets call me)
