September Prayers

I hope...

I find a way to connect with each and every one of them.

I earn their respect, but also their love.

I am able to thoroughly prepare them academically, emotionally, and behaviorally for the grades to come, and, ultimately, life.

they will fall in love with learning simply because learning feels wonderful!

I provide opportutnies for every child to take his/her thinking to the "next" level.

my efforts to assimilate them into school culture won't leave a bad taste in their mouths about school or learning. I desperately hope that in teaching them "how to be" in school, I am still able to nurture their creativity and sense of fun.

I will help them be better people (and that I will model the traits I often preach but don't always practice - such as patience, kindness, compassion, and respect...)

the parents of my students will be glad their child was in my class.
