It's the first day of school in my district! I thought this quote was a good reminder that it's usually the "little stuff" that's actually the "big stuff."
It's easy to get cranky about some of the kids in your class. Especially if you've been given certain students because you "get" them. You just don't want to "get" too many of them in one classroom! Swearing aside, this one is a great reminder that it's our job as teachers to do the best we can with the room full of kids we've been given.
This man is one of my heroes. I'm sure he was human, but it feels like everything he said was worthy of being written down.
Don't you wish we could all be like this? So. Hard!
Let's try!
Have a great Monday, everyone!
