ReplyDeleteI continue to be super impressed with your creativity and acknowledgement of important components which enhanced our community of learning during this course. I hope to see you in other classes, though I know we are all almost done at this point. I learned so much from you about special education, leadership and inclusion. Thank you for sharing your perspectives, insights, and hopes. Good luck!

My can of paint to you says, "Because of your generosity, vulnerability, and compassion in sharing your thoughts, vision, and experiences, I have grown professionally and personally. You have educated me on special education and inclusion, and have inspired me to face every endeavor with my full energy, just as you have in this class. You, Lynnette, are creative, inspiring... and important. Thank you for being You. (and your color of paint is purple :) :) )
