The First Few Weeks...

This article is a good reminder about some of the little people in our classrooms.  It's so much easier to make an assumption about a student than it is to get to the rot of some behavioural issues. A line that stood out for me is "there is no tired like teacher tired in the first weeks of school. No matter how tired we are or how little voice we have left, those faces return to is each and every morning, their wide eyes begging us to dig deeper, to identify them beyond the label". I can totally relate!!  Maybe you can too!
