What Makes a Teacher's Day?

When a student loves what he has learned in school SO MUCH that he does that kind of work at home!


Remember all those diagrams with labels that we worked on a few weeks ago? Ethan grasped the idea really quickly and loved learning the names of parts of animals, different tools and machines, etc. He came in this morning with his sketch book and said (with a huge smile) "Mrs. Adams I LOVE DIAGRAMS!!! Look..."

Diagram of a Jet

Diagram of a Race Car


I know that I've done my job (and done it well) when children get excited by what they have learned from me, and take the new skills with them outside the classroom. Thank you, Ethan, for making my day!
