"Give it Two Weeks..."

What the heck does this have to do with teaching? Read on my friends...(too small to read? Click on the picture!)



In a classroom full of children, it is easy to forget that each child comes to the classroom with their own "Tank" kind of story. They may have just lost a loved one, fought with a best friend, found out that they are moving, happen to be new in the school, etc...While we all stress about test scores, student performance, and getting through all of the year's material - we must always remember that in order to reach our kids, we must first take the time to truly know them. In doing this, we may finally get that "3rd tennis ball moment" from them all! :D Happy teaching, colleagues!
