I THINK I CAN...So I am the last to blog...it's no biggie! Every one saves the best for last. I am so glad that we have started our last semester on a happy and spirited note. I am getting myself prepared for a more intense semester this time. I will be on my knees saying a few hundred prayers to hit "target." Well, it is always a good feeling to have such great support from my colleagues. Welcome back, everyone!

This does not need a lot of reflection and interpretation. Every day that we meetand interact with another human being is a story in itself. We take that story and share with others. We are all teachers.
Blog this!
I like Frank Smith..I should read some of his books when I get the chance. This semester does indeed seem like it will be an intense one, but with a lot of prayers, hard work and drinks (if anyone is interested :) ) we will get through it!
ReplyDeleteStories...activates our prior knowledge and triggers our interest to continue learning. Yes, our lives are all stories. We all have our 'rising conflicts'...and yet, we get through them as stronger individuals. Great quote!
ReplyDeleteYes your quote does not need further interpretation. Teachers are the best storytellers!
ReplyDeleteStorytellers only create more storytellers especially if they inspire young minds to read and write stories of their own. Great quote and interpretation!
