Monday

The most important thing I've learned about my students is to never underestimate them. My students continuously surprise me. Yes, there are times in which I am disappointed by their behavior or lack of motivation, but just when I get frustrated they pull something out of their hat! My students are enjoying learning new things and utilizing that knowledge in their everyday life. Whether it is a story about how they told their parents something they learned in class, or they tell me something they saw on tv and are able to tell me why it was wrong, I couldn't be prouder! Or perhaps that one student who I think is never paying attention in class is the only one who can answer a certain question correctly. Time and time again I am reminded that just because I think they may not be listening, they really are and they make me proud and excited to be a part of their learning process.
