So many students admire you. How do you make those connections?  I create relationships with students by taking time to get to know each students interests, hobbies, and families.I use this information to make connections in our lessons that apply to real-life situations. Since our educational program is so intertwined with a students home life, it creates an understanding that makes them feel important.   When or why is (or isn’t) a picture worth a thousand words?   Looking at the whole picture of a situation helps us to understand more than what is being relayed or described. Everyone comprehends things differently, so we must rely on teaching to meet each child’s individual learning needs.   If you won the lottery and decided to give up teaching, what would you do instead?  If I won the lottery, I would purchase a large farm to house rescue animals. I would have conservation and therapy programs for individuals with unique abilities.
