I get a quick snapshot assessment of how they are doing emotionally each morning. Today's question taught me a girl will be getting a new adopted sister soon, a boys great grandma was murdered long ago, another girl has 2 trampolines, and so much more. :) Tells me what means the most to these kids. Some of them really thought hard about what to tell me!"
