I looked around my room today and what do you suppose I saw?
Children deeply engaged in reading. I was totally in awe!
Is it always like this, you might ask?
No, they're children, at times they get off task!
So exactly what do I do?
It's simple, I give them the freedom to choose
which books they want to read
and where they want to sit.
Do I have to redirect them?
Certainly!
Certainly!
But on days when I look around and this is what I see,
I smile to myself and then I say . . .
Today was a good day!
Trust them to choose!
Don't judge my poetry skills. :-)

Wonderfully written...and so true. After so many years of teaching school, your love for learning just awe s me!!
ReplyDelete:-) Thank you! When I stop wanting to learn and getting excited about kids learning it will be time for me to retire.
