“YOU STAND YOUR TALLEST WHEN YOU KNEEL DOWN TO HELP A CHILD.” -Dr. Phil
Today is Dr.Seuss’ birthday (Read Across America), so (hopefully) schools around the country are celebrating the art of READING! Woot woot!
Here is a special poem I found that is very close to my heart given the populatino of students I teach. I live and love to teach.
7 Hours of Sanity
7 hours of sanity
That’s what the school day means to me,
A place with heat, water and light,
And somewhere to rest after a sleepless night.
7 hours of sanity
That’s what the school day means to me,
A place where I can get two meals to eat,
And every day I attend, I have the same seat.
7 hours of sanity
That’s what the school day means to me,
A place to get a band-aid from the nurse,
And maybe antiseptic so it doesn’t get worse.
7 hours of sanity
That’s what the school day means to me,
A place i can jump rope and play basketball,
And see the gym teacher who is six foot tall.
7 hours of sanity
That’s what the school day means to me,
A place I can go to learn,
The ONLY place I’ll get a turn.
