I know I’ve already said it, school starts next Monday. The teachers are preparing this week and today, I helped out our Hospitality Chairman take a snack and drink cart around to all of the teachers and staff compliments of our PTA. It was so nice to see the reactions of the teachers as we approached their room offering them something to munch on. It was also nice to meet some of the teachers that I had not met before, as well as the new ones at the school. I brought my youngest with me, as I thought it would help her to get re-familiarized with the school. We spent a lot of time up there last year, so she recognized some of the teachers and classrooms and so on. Anyways, she is a very shy child and this has been my main concern for her this year. When we stopped by her new classroom to offer her teacher a snack, we introduced ourselves and my daughter would not even look at her. The same thing happened in the library with the librarian. And, you guessed it, again with the music teacher. I’m afraid she will get in trouble for not speaking! Seems like most parents are afraid their child will get in trouble for talking too much. We certainly won’t have that problem this year. I will say that she’s come a long way. Three years ago, when someone would say hi to her, she’d cry. At least we’re past the tears!
