<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Sara and I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy newyear. We hope all good things will come in the new year. </DIV>

<DIV class=RTE>Also I wanted to share with you the last evening at Kasterlinden. This is a teacher - parents meeting. We tell the parents the progress their child made over the last 2 months. Now most parents think what Sara and I are doing is great, they really see the value of SignWriting... but! There are always people who see this as a waste of time, as something that is not a thing of the future. Trying to explain this to them is simply put 'not worth the effort'. </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Yesterday there were 2 parents in my classroom for over an hour and still they didn't get it. Well, to bad, they are not going to ruin my Christmas ;) We love using SignWriting and will keep up the good work in 2005.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Happy hollidays to you all!!!</DIV>
