Porter had a super great year of 2nd grade. He has always lucked out and has gotten, what I think, are the best teachers in the school. This year he has Mrs. Bogart who was a gem. She is everything you would want in a teacher. She was gently, loving, kind, genuine, a great listener, organized, and trusting. Porter felt so comfortable with her and was always excited to get to school. When it came time for the end of the year and he and I were talking about what to do for a gift for such a special person, he suggested we make her a quilt. I talked with the room mother of the class and she asked all of the parents to go in on it, which was perfect because then we could buy nicer material and have it machine quilted. Porter helped me every step of the way, I don't know that he enjoyed every step, but he helped. I also had an idea to had embroider each of the kids names on to a square all throughout the quilt, it really was so simple, and added the perfect touch. The room mom also went it a few days before we gave it to her and took a picture with all of the kids holding the quilt to give to Mrs. Bogart.
Mrs. Bogart was so cute when she opened the gift and so was Porter, he was so proud. She immediately started crying and gave everyone a big hug. Yes it was a lot of work and took a lot of time, but it was worth it.

The kid all love Marin and want to be around her every time she came to the class.
