A Better Heart

I have gained a greater appreciation for my childhood teachers as I have spent the past 5 and a half years teaching, in fact the more I teach the more I realize all the work that went in to each day, each moment and each child. How a teacher never forgets a child and work is never left at work.

I want to SHOUT out and THANK all my own children's teachers who have worked outside of the school day, lost sleep over how to better teach my child, prayed for my child and spent an extra moment helping my child feel loved. YES, the academic side is important, but most of all I am forever grateful to those teachers who took plenty of moments to care and to help my child feel good about himself. I go to bed tonight thinking about the hearts of my own students but mostly thanking past teachers for bettering the hearts of my sons!
