What a great teacher she has too! Mrs. Petersen. The first time I met her, I was reminded of something Maya Angelou had said once. I am paraphrasing so forgive me. But, she said that when our children walk into the room, our (parent, teacher) eyes should light up and they should feel as they are the most important person in the world. The first time Gracie and I met Mrs. Petersen, as we both walked into the room, Mrs. Petersen did just what Maya Angelou describes to Gracie (i was ushered to a table int the corner). I knew at that momemt that Gracie was lucky to have a great teacher! 
One of the first days the class baked a big gingerbread man. When they went to the oven to get him out, he had run away! A few days later after the kids had left him a note to come back (really a trap) and when he did, they ate him! What a fun and clever activity! So, this year should be a good one! We are all excited and will keep you all posted of progress, events, even trials and tribulations! Love to all! Say Goodnight Gracie!
