I had told the school office to be on the lookout for a package for me from my redditgift/teacher match. When the box came, the receptionists had me open it in the office because they were as excited as I was! There was a glorious surprise! I was merely looking for some paper or paint. What I saw was heavenly! Construction paper, paint, craft sticks, pompoms, wiggly eyes, Halloween foam stickers and glitter glue. I am busily making a list of projects to use everything. Open House is coming up and the glitter glue is calling.

Since most of my students are not writers, the best way they can express their comprehension is with art. Finding others who support the importance of art in the schools is so gratifying. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
