"Don we now our GAY apparell".....and then talk about it.

Hey there was a reason I was listening to those songs in the Grocery store
Sunday. I had the best time strolling up and down the aisles. How many of
you can say you enjoyed your grocery shopping over the weekend?

I started out my Monday holding up my Naughty Book...... and said He is
making a list -- checking it twice gonna find out whose naughty and
nice....They all spoke out "Mrs Decker there is no Santa Claus!" Oh how I
cried (dramatically of course) when I found that out. Hey Sister Margaret
had that same message for me one summer --- oh how I chuckled.

Start SHOWING your children the way to behave and they will LEARN for you
and you will learn from them.

I wish I could tell you who let the DAWGS out -- but I can't.

Give kids respect and they give it back. We expect them to respect us no
matter what.

I believed that song I sang as a child "Jesus loves the little children --
all the children of the world" and I believed "Listen to the children"
...and oh how my beliefs were challenged.

I no longer need to worry about art at my district as long as they get
someone in who will listen to the children.

One child asked me what he believes -- a very wonderful child..It was so
sad that I couldn't help him I told him to go home and ask his parents.
Then he would have to bring in a permission slip that it was OK for me to
discuss it with him.

Listen to the children --- let them be our teachers. In my class room we we
are all teachers --I was just the Elder. Even my worst discipline problem
kids knew I respected them.

Enjoy the children today.

Love,

Judy
