When I taught elementary school, we used to create a "Gift of Words" for parents around Christmas time. Each child would write several positive paragraphs describing what their mother or father looked like, things they said, and did that they would always remember. This was done in booklet form, including color sheets, and best of all a poem which proclaimed that the best gift you receive may not be gifted wrapped with a ribbon and bow. Parents always loved what was written, and they treasured the booklets.Joe Sottilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06895840811863044857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363676184114538880.post-89798767735140362382009-12-08T21:36:52.705-05:002009-12-08T21:36:52.705-05:00Thanks for the info.
