Heartbreaking
One of my sweet babies had to learn a hard life lesson yesterday.If the chips that belonged to a classmate ended up in your bag, chances are I am going to think you took them.
I felt so bad for the student but was livid that the incident took place in my classroom!

The Teacher
The other day, I was looking through my grandfathers books when I found "Leaves of Gold". I had first heard of the book from a friend on Facebook. It has a bunch of quotes and snippets of wisdom. I am a huge quote person, so it sparked my interest.As I started looking through it I found many things that I liked. This is a poem I found.
The Teacher
Lord, who am I to teach the way
To little children day by day,
So prone myself to go astray?
I teach them knowledge, but I know
How faint they flicker and how low
The candles of my knowledge glow.
I teach them power to will and do,
But only now to learn anew
My own great weaknesses thru and thru.
I teach them love for all mankind
And all God's creatures, but I find
My love comes lagging far behind.
Lord, if their guide I still must be,
Oh, let the little children see
The teacher leaning hard on Thee.
-- Leslie Pinckney Hill
What a chance to be a witness teachers have! I will see my kids more than their parents will! What a chance to be such a blessing and show them the character of God!

I have been insanely stressed lately. Between helping out with my grandparents and sitting in in-services all day, I haven't had much time to do much else but school. Tonight I got a much needed break and created a poster for my room. It felt so good to create something and get my artistic juices flowing.
Creative juices flowing
