One great day makes all the challenging days recede from
memory. As a Reading
Recovery/Title 1 teacher my job is to transfer my passion for reading and
writing to children. Last year
during a lesson, a first grader literally cry tears of
joy because she could read.
Despite the many distractions during this period in time, most children
are invested in their learning and are truly grateful for the support I offer
them toward becoming independent readers and writers.
The anxiety I expend prior to parent teacher conferences is all for naught. Tonight having
just arrived home from the second trimester meetings, students are happy and
parents are happy, therefore I am
happy. One parent quipped, “You
are like the Mother Theresa of reading.”
That is one of the best compliments I can accept. I know I have the best
job in the world.
