Teaching

Teaching Is Difficult
What Keep Me Teaching?

It’s not often we get a compliment from a student, you know the kind that makes your eyes water so you look up and say who threw clay on the ceiling AGAIN!!  Well I was holding the door the day after Valentines Day and my 4th grade was filing in. First I was handed two beautiful crocheted bracelets, one blue and one pink.  I got them from a student that has probably said all of ten words in three years.   She is sweet but painfully shy.  So I proceeded to wear one on each wrist.  Next a slightly tough but sweet, outspoken, little girl hands me a small envelope. . . . If you read down the left side its an acronym for my name. I went home and framed it.
