A Teacher's Light...

"A good teacher is like a candle- it consumes itself to light the way for others."


 I have found that through making my blog, I have been drawn to speaking about the light that teachers can show to their students.  In my box logic video and even reflecting on the importance of our job, I have been realizing how fortunate we all are to have chosen this field.  I loved this quote, because I believe that only when we have given ourselves completely to our students and their needs can we really truly help them and "let their light shine".  I loved this picture, I feel like it is a great representation of what love and light can do to any dark room or sad heart.



Where Would We Be?

Where would you be without a teacher?
Without love and recognition?
Without addition and subtraction?
Without learning and writing the alphabet?
Would we have doctors, scientists, artists or vets?
The answer to this question is quite simple:
We would be nowhere, and I am not just talking about the teacher's pets!
Teachers are role models who teach not only curriculum, but also life's lessons...
Both easy and hard.
School is where we begin our journey to the person we want to be...
And often times, teachers are our best tour guides!

"Shine Your Light to the World..."

Changes in my Blog

I changed a few of the aspects of my layout on this blog, I wanted a picture of me to be near the top, so that people could view my profile easier.  I also added a quote under my name.  I think this quote is so powerful and shows the power of a good person and in our case a good teacher.  As a teacher, we have the ability to help and love multiple students and help them grow into great people... how lucky are we!!

Respnses from Everyone!

I loved reading everyone's feedback, everyone has been so supportive of my blog!  It makes me want to continue to add things to my blog! Everyone has made me feel so special and I thank you!!!
