not at my school...

i've heard stories before of teachers that send home teddy bears or the equivalent with one student each week and they have to write about the bear's adventures at their homes in a notebook, share with the class, pass it on.  cute.

not at my school.  at my school, a plastic statue of our lady of fatima goes home with the 2nd graders and goes on all kinds of adventures with the little ones...they think it's the greatest thing ever, and so do i!  it's amazing how sacred she is to all of them- i hope they can hold onto that reverence forever!
