Today was a challenging day.
Just another Monday but we have a day off tomorrow.
Feeling out of it after a night of not so restful sleep, I felt out of sorts today.
One of my students shared with me a tragedy in her family that happened over the weekend.
I felt awful and did the best I could to listen and be there for my student.
This reminded me that no matter how I may feel, my students are often going through much more difficult experiences.
I was reminded of the significance of relationships.
Students need to have teachers who care about them as people.
Many students have a story beneath their head on their desk and lack of participation.
I hope I can continue to work hard to be understanding of my students as people and not just a number in my gradebook.
