Gifts…Giving or Getting?!?!
Gifts make me smile. Surprises are the best! It’s not the THING or the money spent…it’s the thought behind it. It reminds me of a favorite line from our read aloud, Fish in a Tree, “But what really gets me is that in order for Mr. Daniels to come up with this plan, he must have thought of me outside of school- when he didn’t have to think of me.” ย That’s like getting a gift. You thought of me when you didn’t have to think of me.
Giving gifts is the BEST thing for me. I love thinking of something that the other person would enjoy. As a teacher of seventy-five students, gift giving is tough. That’s a lot of people. It’s expensive. It’s hard to think of something, but this year I made something that I hope you will like.
It’s important to me that you know how important you are! It’s important to me that you know that YOU MATTER. That’s what inspired this gift. It’s a touchstone…something to carry with you. Whenever you touch it, may it remind you that there is someone out there that believes in you and believes that YOU MATTER!!
