One of my little boys gave me a book called "Life's Little Book of Encouragement for Teachers" when he moved away. It is filled with quotes and I love looking through it. My two favorites are:
"As a general rule, teachers teach more by what they are than by what they say."--Anoynomous
--I like this because teachers are role-models for children and we should be role-modeling positive things for our kids.
"The work can wait while you show the child the rainbow, but the rainbow won't wait while you do the work."--Patricia Clafford
---I love this quote because I feel like parents and even teachers get too busy at times with work and telling kids different things they should be doing. We all need to just take some time and slow down and enjoy the world around us.
Amber, thank you so much for sharing so much about your life. I think we can all learn so much from each other when we can share the details of situations as they cover topics discussed in our work. I wish you the best of luck in all you do and I look forward to taking more classes with you as we work towards our masters!
