Recently, one of the children noticed how much time a volunteer was spending in the library. The child was curious as to why this volunteer was spending her time this way. It elicited a conversation about why a person chooses to spend their time in such a fashion. The conversation was shared with me after it occurred. I could not help but think what a good role model this volunteer is and so representative of our parent help in this school.
Children do imitate what they see.
For those of you who are moving to another duty station, I wish you well and thank you for your abundant help. I know you will make good use of your new school and your post library facilities. For those that will be staying, please know I am thankful to you as well and look forward to working with you and your children again next year. The sixth grade classes have been very busy this spring. In Social Studies we have learned the names and locations of all of the European countries to go along with our unit on Medieval Europe.
