Today I am thankful for the teachers my two youngest children have at school. Â I am still not 100% sure we are doing the right thing, but I am very convinced I needed to just focus on J2 this year. Â I am thankful for the man who teaches J3, he’s encouraging and firm. Â That seems to be a good combination for a sixth grade teacher and he has done a lot for J3’s self confidence. Â Sissy’s teacher is patient and quiet, a good model for Sissy. Â She is often overwhelmed by all the other children, but her teacher remains a calm presence in the chaos.
