Cherish these moments
It’s hard to believe we are at the end of our fifth month of school! The year is passing much faster than I ever could have imagined. Often I wish that I was able to slow time down so that I could experience more of the joy, excitement and adventure that I share with your children each day. But I can’t, so I try to savor every minute as it happens. Please remember to do the same with your children. I don’t want you to miss one moment.
Best,
Sharon
