Slice of Life 2012 - 16

Today I had a new perspective. As the class walked in I smiled and gave directions in a quiet and warm voice. I made an extra effort to point out students who were doing their job, especially those who often do not fit this category. I watched their interactions, what seemed to interest them and how long it kept their interest, what or who distracted them... It is so easy to let things slide since they are the last class of the day, but today I learned from them and I pondered how this 20 minute snapshot reflects the rest of their school day. They are fun and inquisitive and made me excited for a new adventure that is beginning to come into focus.
