101 Happys: **Building a LoVe of Life-Long Learning!!*

Welcome to my Classroom's Blog

There are so many reasons to be happy! This blog will showcase my classroom children and the wonderful reasons why they and life makes me happy!

Why change the adjective happy into a noun? My good friend Elaine would always give me unexpected (and for no reason) presents. She called these gifts ~ "happys." I was always delighted in receiving one of Elaine's "happys" and over the years have been blessed to give and receive many fabulous "happys."

A happy may be big but usually is small. Just an unexpected reminder that something loving, thoughtful, or kind has or will happen.

I like to think of my classroom as a present that gives more than enough happys to make my world so beautiful and glorious. In this blog I will share some of those "happys" with you!

Blessings,
Mrs. Struckhoff
