Don't get me wrong, I am loving this brief winter break from teaching. But, in all honesty, I miss my kids and I am itching to get back to Minneapolis to work with them! Last week I had a meeting with my advisor and we analyzed the data I've collected so far on my students and looked at where they are academically and where they need to be by the end of the year. I feel the urgency!
These quotes help trigger more momentum for 2nd semester...
"Once you learn to read, you will be forever free." Frederick Douglass - one of my role models
“Frederick Douglas taught that literacy is the path from slavery to freedom. There are many kinds of slavery and many kinds of freedom, but reading is still the path.” Carl Sagan
"Feeling without judgment is a washy draught indeed; but judgment untempered by feeling is too bitter and husky a morsel for human deglutition." Jane Eyre
The following song is a song that my students LOVE. Big time. They call it, "When I get older." Hearing them sing this song always makes me so happy. I don't think they realize right now at their young age the weight of the lyrics, but some day I think they will.
