year 2


Reflections in teaching: Year 2
+the importance of playing with them
+the magic of Shel Silverstein, Dallas Clayton, and Dr. Seuss
+reading and singing and dancing brings us all together
+patience is practiced
+knowing what you can control, and what you have to let go (to stay sane)
+how much kids need attention.
+instill confidence
+inspire creativity
+the impact of my mood/preparation/attitude on the student's behavior
+how much they LOVE when I talk real with them and when I'm goofy or surprising
+teaching at a school with a solid staff, a perfect teaching team, and an incredible Principal will make it an easy decision to teach another year. Hello year 3.

++++++++++++
