This is my LO for this quote. I thought it appropriate because these ancestors did leave a trail for us their descendants!

What a great LO for this particular challenge. And... they sure DID leave a trail;! Loved your journaling. The colours are perfection for this! TYFS!

Pat, fabulous, job! Love the pic and the journaling!

JUST. SO. BEAUTIFUL.
Love the white space, the chevrons, the doodling (at first I saw it as stitching!) LOVE IT ALL.
AWESOME LO.

I used it on this one for Kelly's September challenge:

This is so great, I sooo adore your handwriting (printing)!
The repeated circles with their adorable stitching work so well as accent pieces!.
Just awesome work!! Blue is my fave colour so I am particularly partial to this! WTG!

Here's mine!

Pete and I had a hard time getting a decent photo.

The journaling reads:


Travelling the road with you…

Noah, we had your Individual Program Planning Meeting with your Team yesterday. We’re very excited because at this point, you are about halfway through Level Three in the STAR program… which only includes three levels.

You have been working on the STAR program as part of your individual programming since Grade Primary. Your Resource Teacher told us that what still remains to be accomplished in STAR Level Three will probably take up most of this, your Grade 4 year.

When you get close to completing the last STAR program level, our Team will, under the guidance of your Resource Teacher, design the appropriate “next” learning steps based on what you need to tackle. How exciting is THAT??

It has been, and IS, a long journey, but you are making a steady progress that is AMAZING in itself, for a little boy who began travelling this road with no language and many challenges. So proud of you, Noah!

Thankful for the STAR program, the premise and practice of “inclusion with support,” and the amazing, forward-thinking school that includes us and Argo as part of your Team.

We’re with you for the long haul!
It’s so good to be travelling with you.

Love, Mom and Dad

Thanks Kelly! He works hard... We have a fan-ta-bulous and amazing Team. I call them "Team Noah." Very cohesive, it's a team I am proud to be a part of...

Awesome, Ali. Love the way you are capturing Noah's development through scrapbooks.

Aww, TY so much Linda. I feel it is important to do that. It has been and continues to be a very long road, but I feel the success of what we have all been doing with Noah - and what HE is doing as a learner in SO many areas- needs to shine out and be shouted out. Love that kid. Love this family and our Team... Keeps me busy! ROFL

Thanks for the kind words.

That's a beautiful memory to record. I like the little embellishments you used.
