January focus: Honoring teachers

This month we've chosen to honor the teachers and support staff at our local elementary school where many of our children are attending and even more will be in the next few years.

We honor all of the teachers who will influence our children's lives!
Especially for...
Demonstrating a passion or love for one’s subject.
Challenging students to better themselves.
Working within the family to encourage learning.
Setting an example of civic responsibility and challenging students to consider the ethics of a situation.
Using creative or innovative practices in the classroom in order to enliven or enhance classroom participation.
Consistently setting an example for students on how to conduct one’s self.
Consistently helping students in problematic situations, and demonstrating an evenness of mind when doing so.
Demonstrating acts of courage.

On Valentines Day, Tiny Hands will be delivering bouquets of flowers and handmade cards for all the teachers and support staff at our local elementary school.

If you live in our community (Northwestern R.I.) with a child between the ages of 3 and grade 2, and would like to participate, please email k.swanson@cox.net
