“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.”
― Albert Einstein
My favorite children's book is "Brown Bear, Brown Bear". I love to read this book with the children because the story teaches rhyming and is very repetitive. This enables the children to help tell the story.
My main inspiration for my desire to teach would have to be a negative experience that I had with a high school teacher. I was not "a rich, popular kid" in my school. She focused all her attention on that group of students. I have been out of high school for over 25 years, but I still remember that experience. I want to be the type of teacher who supports ALL her students, not just the "rich kids". I want my students to have positive experiences to remember.
We may never know the impression we have left on the life of a child. That is why I believe every encounter with them should be treated as golden. It is heart-warming to read about your commitment to making a difference.
ReplyDeleteBrown Bear was my God Son's favorite book. I remember him memorizing the book when he was two. Being a special part of any child's life is rewarding.
