I took time to review my last few days with the students and I realized we often want to rush things. It's important to put ourselves in those little ones' shoes and look around from their perspective. We need as adults to take time with them and observe. We have to be welcoming, peaceful, smily, comforting. The beginning of the school year is a moment where we can use this time to know our little ones and discover what they like, who they are. September is a moment to discover the human being and introduce the routine slowly but surely. It's a time where our job as teacher means something very unique, very special. We bring the children to a new level of possibilities and wonder. I will remember that tomorrow is still September and that my young new students might need more than a pencil and an eraser but need ME and my warmly smile.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02953954250143239386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-501824432676733753.post-55799076880818357352010-09-09T21:28:03.058-07:002010-09-09T21:28:03.058-07:00Hi Shelley,
