Teachers make an Incredible (not Simple) Difference!

It is here! School is beginning.

I have written previously of the fact that I am not teaching this year. Which, in turn, made me wonder about the impact I made on my students’ lives over the years. I could pretend to be humble and say “I am not sure”, but that would be wrong.

I do know that I made an impact, I have been blessed with letters and notes to prove it. These are often few and far between in the world of special education, so I do cherish them.

AND…. In spite of the struggles you face with the things that are so difficult these days…..be encouraged as you begin another year~

Mr./Mrs. TEACHER……
YOU are making a difference in the life of…..
at the very LEAST…
One child a year…..

AND I can guarantee you it is more than one a year!! Continue reading It is SIMPLE…..Teachers: YOU make a DIFFERENCE! →

And I am forever grateful that I could leave. And I am really kind of “HaPpY” (insert Pherrill Williams song here) that I don’t have to deal with it….

But I do miss this time of year….and the kids.

Simple Kickball

We have all went through it. Being picked for teams. In my case it was a simple kickball game.

I wasn’t the most athletic kid in the world, but I wasn’t the least either. So I was always picked some time in the middle of the “picking” process. I had gotten use to it, it wasn’t that good, but it wasn’t that bad either.

This particular day there was a new girl. She wasn’t in the best of clothes and had a lot of acne on her face. And yes, you guessed it…she was picked dead last. The look on her face was one I will never forget, and never wanted to experience myself. Thankfully she was on my team and we became friends. She wasn’t picked last again…but someone else was… Continue reading Simple Kickball →
