To my 1st Graders:


Children,
your education will make visible
what is hidden as a seed within,
a seed that will transform into uniquely, beautiful, YOU.

YOU are the gardener of your own being,
the seed of your own destiny.

You will take root, and someday you will flower.
Opening up your petals and stretching to sun-
blossoming into your own.

 Your journey has just begun.

And someday soon
You will scatter...
and watch as your own seeds help others expand around you,
blooming in their turn.

  1. Anna,

    I absolutely love your BLOG. It is poetic, inspiring, uplifting, and beautiful as you are. You have so many gifts and are so talented. I KNOW that you are going to be a fantastic teacher and a blessing in each one of your students lives.

    Mom and I are very proud of you.

    I hope we can visit you in your classroom when we come to visit in October.

    Love, Dad
