Parents
have really enjoyed this treat that I give them and it also helps to break the
ice at conferences. On a desk outside my class room I put a container of 5-8 varities
of hot drink packages such as coffe, tea, hot chocolate, International Coffee
sample packets, apple cider and so on. I also provdie a pot of hot warm water,napkins,
cups,stirring sticks and a small garbage can to throw away the cups and napkins.
Parents have really appericate this warm welcome. I also put a note (I use the
tent style) that says, "Please help your self to a warm drink. Thank you
for your support and encourgament. Mrs. Morton"
