Dear Third Grade!

Dear students in my new class,

I already adore you. Sure, you don’t need me in the same ways as my class last year but you still are so innocent and entertaining. While reading to you about Terry Fox, I looked up and realized that not a single one of you were playing with toys in your desk or were blowing spit bubbles. All 23 of you sat in rapt attention and a few of you looked close to tears as we talked about what it must have taken to get up each morning and run, like Terry did. And when one of you raised your hand and said that the only other person who you thought was a hero besides Terry Fox was Nick Jonas because he has diabetes, you said it so sincerely that I just could not laugh. This is going to be an amazing year.


Love,

Ms. Warner

My Summer

Summer came and went too quickly. I'm back at school which means I will have more time to devote to my blog which I abandoned along with my treadmill this summer.

Summer was fantastic! It was a whirlwind of pie baking and sleepovers and dress freakouts and pictures posed while modeling. There’s been swimming in clear water, fighting grasshoppers and napping under trees. There’s been last minute speech meltdowns and celebratory high fives. There’s been gasps over the hair, sighs over the kiss and a successful mission to recapture a flower girl gone rogue. I traveled, I ate too much, painted, shopped and spent too much money!

With Autumn around the corner comes a new workout routine, more free time, and letting go of the past.

I was elected an officer to an association that means everything to me. Of course lots of traveling and new people and experiences are on the horizon. I'm off to Chicago and I can't wait :)
