A Teacher’s Blessings By E.L.Mendes A recent Facebook post, posed the question “ I love being a teacher because...”
◊
I get to be there for kids. When no one else is there for them. I can be that person they can come to. If there is ever a dark time. I can be that sunshine.
◊
I love the look in a kids eye when they finally get it. Also I just enjoy being silly and having fun most of the day. Every day and every year is something new
◊
I truly change some worlds...
◊
I love seeing the kids light up when they receive the encouragement that they can do anything
◊
It’s the only thing I’m good at, besides being a mom and they both go hand in hand
◊
Every day I get the opportunity to help a child feel heard, seen and a sense of belonging. Children are natural learners; I am so lucky to be part of their growth. I am surrounded by laughter, energy and a whole lot of hijinks.
◊
Because I love to be challenged. Every day I am inspired to become better and better ti make sure my student get my best.. they are worth it!
The responses were amazing. ◊
“That child” every teacher don’t want, finds genuine love with me!
◊
Because I like kids better than adults most days 😂 #socialanxiety
◊
I was born to teach! I love it! Even through the pandemic, I found it challenging and exciting! I teach Kindergarten and the progress they make by the end of May is nothing short of a miracle! I look forward to it every year! Teach on, my friends! 💜
◊
Because the kids crack me up! Never a dull moment.
◊
Weekends off!
◊
I get to have a Kuereg in my room.
◊
It’s the only thing I’m good at. It’s the thing that makes me.
◊
I can make a difference in the life of a child.
