Two students in our class sent me a text tonight to tell me that our beloved app - Timebox - now offers one free ebook. They spotted it before I even read my email from the creator! He emailed an hour after it was approved by Apple. Amazing!

Your child should be able to tell you the story of how I shared our need for being able to share each child's "curiosity thoughts and events" with you by emailing the creator of the app (Yes- I really did!). The children heard about every email back and forth and were amazed at each response.

Len is an amazing man! He listened, responded,  and incredibly less than 2 weeks later there is a version created just for us! I'm still in shock myself.

The lesson to the children was to not "hope" but think of a positive way to ask for a change or options then to take action. By never giving up and trying when there is a just cause, we can each really make a difference that can help others. Incredibly, we did just that!

Proof of evidence . . .  (That's part of my email on his website! There were other paragraphs describing how much we loved it and three ideas for helping us solve our problem. He created a free ebook update just for us! The quote is the one part that directly described our classroom problem. :) )

Thanks to the love of Timebox in our class, this is now available to people all over the world! :) Please congratulate your child on truly making a difference - today! I told them they would be the people who make a difference in our world in the future - and that the future is now! :) 

I'll send home a copy of the emails on Monday so you can share how positive thinking and believing in people can benefit others while hopefully inspiring your children to always believe that their voice matters. :) 

I'm going to try to think of some way our class can somehow thank him. That's a challenge!

*** Let's pay it forward . . .

Would you please post a superstar rating or add a review to the app on the Apple Store??? That was the only thing Len mentioned we could do. If we all sent one, then we could show some true appreciation. Thank you!!!
