(she knows that she spelled that R word wrong... she did it on purpose!)
I have had a bit of a rocky start to my school year, specifically with a few students. This... Speaks...to.... Me... Loud and Clear Lord!
I happened upon this tonight and cried. I get that I might not teach students in the same way that most teachers do. I know that my day looks a lot different than a "typical" classroom. The things that I teach are not always found in textbooks (which is sometimes the biggest challenge).
God knew that I was feeling disheartened, overwhelmed and ineffective. I have a heavy heart about the "teaching" I FEEL I am not able to do...I am hard on myself and I want to do more....
I have a few ideas and am working on putting them into place.
Just needed to vent and share that this... spoke... to me tonight but what I hope is that my children are raised to see the good and "able" in everyone, regardless of ability (or disability).
I love MY kids... the kids who need an advocate, who need someone to believe in them, who see the good in others, who enjoy the simpler things in life, whose smile lights up a room, who needs me to encourage them to do great things (though they might seem small to most).
I feel refreshed and encouraged tonight....
and for that
I AM THANKFUL!
