A3: Give them more free play! (Especially elementary) It's amazing how students will learn to problem solve when they have to work together during play. #READ5305#txed
A4: My first grad class I immediately questioned why I had signed up for it! My husband told me that I could quit (he knew this was not an option in my mind) I am so thankful I "stuck with the hard stuff"...I am better for doing it! #READ5305#kidsdeserveit
A2: A student I taught years ago. He had many "things" going against him, BUT he came every morning with a huge smile and was always ready to learn. The picture of his smile in my mind presses me to be my best everyday! #READ5305#kidsdeserveit
A1: I didn't think that I would ever teach again after my first year! (21 years ago!) I didn't allow my "bad" experience to stop accomplishing my dream of being a teacher! I am SO thankful I did not give up! #READ5305#kidsdeserveit
A5: Our classroom (I share it with 2 other ISTs) was in a portable last year...moving inside for next year! WooHoo! So, not much this summer since it's in transition! #dojochat#READ5305
