Thank you Two Writing Teachers for creating this space for me to share my corner of the world.
Yesterday I was out of my classroom and left my students in the care of a substitute teacher. Sometimes being gone is more work than actually teaching. My substitute was a social studies teacher I had over 40 years ago.
This morning when I walked in, I saw he had written some words of wisdom for my students.
Tonight his words are my slice.
Tomorrow may we all think about our own success and the success of those students sitting in our classrooms.
So true. I think he was wise. :)
ReplyDeleteI like it! What a GREAT way to start the day!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is awesome! And this IS what success means.
ReplyDeleteThat's great!I love the way you highlighted the days in your post. Thank you for sharing this inspiration
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Seems like a wise person to leave an inspiration not a list of what didn't go right.
ReplyDeleteI love quotes. I like how so much wisdom can be smushed into just a few words. This is a wonderful one. How like a former teacher to still be reaching out and trying to influence kids even though he is retired! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued by the line "my substitute was a social studies teacher I had 40 years ago." Can you write another post about that?
ReplyDeleteGreat words to keep in mind, especially for students who might think all rules are optional with a sub.
