Our motto at Martin Luther King Montessori Dream school is " It is easier to build a child than repair a man. "
As a teacher this gives me pause when I am about to get aggravated at a child for his or her behavior )which at times is so inappropriate) I have to step back and take a breath. what we say to children and how we say it makes an impact that can last a life time. If I want to impact the children I teach I must make my point with out tones and words that will hinder their p[personal growth and development.
Tomorrow I am going to a workshop at the Montessori training center I attended to hear Catherine McTamany the author of The Tao of Montessori reflections on compassionate teaching. I can't wait to fill up my inspiration cup.
Myself at Goll Woods in 2012
I am also passionate about getting kids out in nature so hence the picture of me in the woods.
Enjoy your weekend everyone. Get out and commune with Mother Nature.
