Today I received a note from a darling 1st grader. The note reads:
My faveret coler is blue and green. I lik your shirt. have a nice day!
The note is complete with a bright and cheery flower and smiley face.
It may not seem like much, however I was only in this student's classroom for about an hour to assist with an English and writing lesson.
I love teaching. I always have. In a former career-life, I was a corporate trainer. I loved it. I educated adults in customer service techniques. Now I mostly teach 6 to 12 year olds how to count coins and identify igneous rocks.
At times I truly wondered if I had any impact on a child's life being a substitute teacher. Then I receive a thoughtful note or picture from a student. It's during these moments I know that I've touched their lives just as much as they have touched mine.
