I was asked this morning a question and wanted to share my heart with you again:
9:19 AM What did you love about teaching? Well there are many things I loved about teaching and still love about teaching. The moment when the light bulb clicks and they “get it” and you can see it in their eyes. The moment that a first grader has been working in reading groups and daily phonics activities decoding sounds for months and now realizes that they can read not only the book in front of them but posters on the wall and they can read anything, that joy is something I wish I could bottle for the rest of my life!! loved making relationships with my students daily letting them know that they had a strong loving teacher that cared about them as a whole person. I loved being a resource we started a clothing closet a Thanksgiving food drive for families in our neighborhood. I loved being part of a team of teachers and administrators that helped children succeed!!! I love so much about teaching I still do! I love teaching adults as well as children. People learn in layers and people learn through different modalities and it is amazing to me when I’m speaking on a stage or training a group of people whether it’s a group of CEOs or a group of employees I have been asked to train or a classroom of children, when you can provide the opportunity to learn something new it’s spectacular. I also truly love being involved in a child’s life where they get to discover what they are really good at and teach it to another! The BEST BEST BEST is that I still am in contact with many of my kiddos and get to watch them grow into womderful adults! Lori
