Mrs B

How do I Thank You for watching over my child investing your time energy focus and passion in him Every day? How do I thank you for using your keen eye to emerge with his full picture and tailoring a years worth of education just for him? for making sure he is comfortable and relaxed and happy Every day? How do I thank you for finding inventive ways to facilitate his goals Every day? for the look of alarm, ever so brief if even a remote chance of danger for him or others? for your warmth your upbeat kindness and nurturing that you give him Every day? How do I thank you for loaning him Snow pants and a little Yellow T-Shirt? for teaching him how to honor his own work and that of his peers? How do I thank you for planting seeds that deepen his understanding of Everything? for taking a lesson plan that is fine infusing it with complexity and transforming it into something extraordinary Every day? for teaching my child as if he were the only child in your class while teaching Every Child in your class as if they were the only one as well? How do I thank you? This happy full creative thinking boy who chatters to me as he is going to sleep about Martin Luther King Jr. Johnny Appleseed Spheres and cylinders sets of tens mammals fish poems songs and Your words of Praise is the living proof of the gift that you are to education and children. I can only say Thank you Teacher.. Mrs B; Poetry by Susan M. Walker 2014
