Day 23 - "I See You" - SOLSC

#SOL21

Even when our class isn't called for the school drill, I see you.

Even when the lunch staff forgets to bring you your lunch and you miss half of it, I see you.

Even when you aren't invited to the class because of numbers and social distancing, I see you.

Even when you are forgotten to be called down for specials classes, I see you. 

Even if nobody cares to see you, I will forever see you.


Until next time,

*GB

I had to read your post a couple of times to truly let the meaning sit in my head and heart. It is a beautiful message.

This reminds of our graduate advisors advice on grading my first year as a TA: "when in doubt, always err toward generosity"

LOVE IT. I had a talk with two little girls today with a strikingly similar theme. I have no idea if they landed with the impact that I intended but I am glad I spoke with them anyways. Thank you for sharing this!

Because isn't that what our kids want from us? To be seen, to be acknowledged, to know that there is another human who recognizes us for who we are and what we have to offer? Yes. Beautiful sentiment.

Random Thoughts - "A New Teacher's Testimony" - 23 Days Until School's Out!

The blog challenge might be over, but I find that I miss writing. I miss expressing my new teacher's testimony and today I felt compelled to write. We had bees, state testing, and a room-clearing all in one day. I am "abuzz" with grad school work, meetings, and thoughts of where my new journey in education will go. My mind is full of thoughts, so many thoughts. When will I no longer be considered a "new teacher?" What will my classroom look like next year? Will I have one? Where will this journey take me? So, many, thoughts..... This new teacher misses sharing her thoughts with you, so today on a Tuesday. Here I am. One new teacher on a journey all her own. One more IEP to write, and 23 days until school is out..... Oh, the thoughts, so many thoughts. Until next time...my final thought of the day. *GB

#SOL21  Monday is my least favorite day of the week. This isn't because the week offers a bazillion opportunities to advance my skills and craft, but because the weekend seems so far away. Today we were thrown a curveball - a student was absent so I had a class of 1 for the day! (I also had to run groups remotely throughout the day for the kiddos who aren't in my self-contained class. Yes, I made this schedule so essentially I did this to myself.) I think the highlight of the day today was during lunch. Since I have to eat with my students I find this time to be a chance that I can get to know them even more. So today with my class of one, I look over and see a look of complete disgust on his face. I say to him, "are you ok?" He was looking at his chicken and tells me, "chicken makes me throw up." Yep out of the mouth of wee ones, comes the slice of the day. Plus, a big chuckle out of Ms. B. Thank you sweetie, for being the slice today. When I think about ho...
