Dare
To try.
If you fall,
I will catch you.
When you fly,
I will cheer you on.
Mr. Goree
I spent more time in the classroom today, getting ready for the new school year. I got more and more confident as the day went on, that I would be ready for my students when they walk into my room. I wanted to find a quote, or make up my own about “winning” or “success.” Then I realized, they will win, and they will succeed. What I really want them to know is that they will win and they will succeed, and on the path to reaching those goals I will be as excited as they are about getting there, and if they stumble off the side of that path, I will help them back on their way.
I want them to know these things all year long, so I put it on their desk mats. They will see that poem every day, and on those days when I don’t seem thrilled with their effort or behavior, they will have a reminder that I have faith in them. Dopey, huh?
