SOLSC: Teacher Evaluation - 16/31

The Slice of Life Story Challenge 
is hosted by the Two Writing Teachers.

Teacher Evaluation

"What a great morning! Thanks for working so hard today.  We sure learned a lot!" I praised my first grade group of boys as we wrapped up our small group time.

"You worked hard today too!" Andrew exclaimed.

"Thank you, Andrew," I whispered through a smile and a laugh, all the while shaking my head in amusement.


Who needs administrator evaluations and observations?

These are the moments that matter.

    These are the times I wish I taught the little ones, although middle schoolers do respond like that at times. Thanks for the sweet story, & good for you getting the praise. We don't always get enough of it.

    Woo hoo! Glad the students are speaking life to you!

    We, as teachers, make a huge difference...too bad the administrators and law-makers don't always see it.

{#sol15} deeper than beauty 8/31

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters.  I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem. First of all, because I don't want them to believe everything that society says is true.  Even if they don't fully understand it today.  In addition, because they are fraternal twin sisters, I want them to understand they are individuals with unique and different bodies that God created for each of them.   However, society -- including my loving family and friends -- tell a different story and harmlessly create a comparison war.   My girls constantly hear how beautiful, adorable, cute, fill-in-the-blank with any other
