Making Mistakes

Last week while listening to readers,
I was noting some details
and stopped to erase and change
the information on the child's record.  Watching me, the student asked what
was happening and I explained to him
that I was correcting myself. 

"Oh (sigh) I made an error.  Hmm,
I need to make sure this is written
correctly;  it will just take me a
moment.  Teachers are people too
and we sometimes make mistakes."

"Well.....you're certainly not an alien!"  ~Isaac

A Rose for Mrs. Salmond

"We're in third grade now but I'll never forget
my second grade teacher, Mrs. Salmond.
I hope we can see one another now and then.  She
will be proud that I am going to do my very
best every day this school year."  ~Sydney
