I like that the ages you mentioned of the kids were a little younger. That is why in your new position even the Elementary kids will love you. It isn't the age you work with that has made you successful it is your overwhelming love and excitement about your job. I think even young kids can pick up when someone honestly wants to talk to them and is really interested in them. You have that down! love ya Mom,

Connecting with students is the name of the game. If a teacher can connect, then engagement for learning is almost automatic. The bonus is the subsequent transfer of enthusiasm for school to the student's own kids and that small glow of cheer you allow yourself to feel because you made a friend and opened doors to learning. Right on target, Kimberley!

I always feel a little guilty about the way that some books consume me, and my husband feels a little neglected. I would be the lady in the vet office with her nose glued to that book every moment I was there. I probably wouldn't even hear about what is going on with my dog. :) I just finished the Harry Potter book last night.
