Today was a very busy, harried day in the classroom. There were, however, many opportunities to show kindness to others. There were children who needed hugs, as they are adjusting to being in a classroom , away from Mom and Dad. Also, there were nervous parents, who were getting used to letting their little ones go....to first grade in a new school. No matter how many years I have taught, I always find that it comes down to this- the parents all want what I wanted for my child;just to know that the teacher cares and is going to give their child all the love and TLC that is possible. I found myself hugging a nervous parent, who was far more upset than her child. Just a little bit of caring goes such a long way.......
Quote of the day -
