You are BRAVER than you believe STRONGER than you seem SMARTER than you think AND LOVED more than you know........A.A. Milne

I miss recess and lunch and PE and pajama day, oh wait maybe not that :), and treasure box Tuesday! Most of all I miss the creativity of my first graders! I miss seeing them be problem solvers and helping each other. I miss teeth falling out and hearing about all the goings-on outside of school! Most of all I miss those sweet smiling faces!!

Hello Canyon Cubs! I hope you are all doing well and working hard at home. We think of you all the time and miss you so much! I miss the laughter and smiles from all the kids and the faculty. Keep working hard and hang in there. This will not last forever. Remember that you can do it and that we never give up! Love Mrs. Perschon

I am so PROUD of all the hard work each of you has completed and I LOVE watching your smiling faces on your Friday Flipgrids. Keep up the great work. Have COURAGE and Be KIND!!! We can do hard things.

I miss singing daily as you enter the classroom. I miss your morning hugs, smiles, stories, and excitement of getting our day started. I miss teaching, I miss reading aloud, I miss watching you play at recess, I miss everything about being your teacher. I simply miss YOU!!!

Keeping it Light.....is Right!

Attitude! Attitude! It makes you do the things you do!
Attitude! Attitude! It makes you what you are...
You've got to be Kind! You've got to want to Share!
You've got to be a Friend! You've got to want to Care...
Oh, it's your... Attitude that makes... You!!!

With all that is going on in the world right now....
Keep a HAPPY routine going for yourself.
Obey your Parents! This is a transition for them, too!
Take big breaths and exhale...
Keep Living, Loving, Laughing, and Smiling!!!

I miss the interactions. I miss the sound of laughter on the playground and in my classroom. I miss seeing into the eyes of the students as we discuss a topic and they begin to understand. I miss reading to my students!

Everything will be alright. I know things might be scary, or even worse... boring, but this is all for the best. It will be nice to get to see everyone’s shining faces again. Remember to smile, go outside, read a book, and have fun.

I miss my kids. I miss their smiles and laughs.

At home, I sit in my big soft chair and enjoy the communications with my students and their parents! I am missing all of my students.

I miss seeing my students and hearing what they have to say. I miss having them share solutions to math problems with the whole class and I miss our read aloud and making mind maps.

I admire how both parents and students have adjusted to at-home learning. It has been so fun to see the cute, fun pictures and hear the recordings in response to the online learning activities. Students have been amazingly flexible and terrific problem solvers with this new way of learning. I am so proud of your efforts and I send my appreciation for all the parental support.
