Shannon, I can see you are a teacher who cares about each individual need and ability to learn. Your poem was well written and expressed your love for helping your young children learn. I enjoyed the read. Thank you for sharing and give your sweet mom a hug and kiss for this old lady that has learned much from her already.

Hi Shannon! Glad to meet a fellow teacher...well, I am now retired, but still contribute to my local school when asked to. Enjoyed this acrostic poem to which I can relate from experience. Often teachers have to go that extra mile. Have a nice weekend. // paul
ReplyDeleteLove your poem, Shannon! All teachers are obligated to this this way and to promote each child individually. Unfortunately, though it is a pipe dream, I would say that majority of teachers DO think this way. There will always be one or two who spoil the barrel for all the rest. That is life, too. I shudder to think of all the kids left behind because they are "not worth it" and forgotten in the shuffle. Your poem is great and well expressed! Sheri www.poetryandbeyond.net
