Very incisive Shannon,
ReplyDeleteI have been saying the exact same things in less effective

ReplyDeleteDear Shannon,
ReplyDeleteThis poem shows that good art can be both beautiful and useful.
Thank you,

A wonderful way to say, in a dozen ways, that teachers must engage with each student. Shannon confirms what dedicated educators know: students learn best from teachers they trust.
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely poem - & lucky students to have a teacher prepared to go that extra mile
