children. (That’s a photo of my daughter above). Twenty years ago, I was a
student teacher who was desperately trying to establish control over an unruly
class, and failing miserably, and my school advisor said to me, “What’s wrong
with the sound of children laughing?”
And I stopped, took a breath, and considered what she said.
absorb knowledge, and they want to have FUN while they do this.
when I want to teach, I try to take a big breath and slow down my thinking. What’s the point of getting all stressed out about something you can’t control? So the kids are a bit squirrelly today, go with the flow. Think of the laughter. As long as the laughter is not mocking, it must be genuine. It must be worth something. It must be precious.
Beautiful post, Sandra.
very beautiful. It was a heartfelt flow of words. <3
