On Monday, I got the chance to test out the skills I learned in my training over the weekend. I was surprised at how well they worked! Not only did the most challenging of our students respond well to me, but the day ended with at least 5 of the kids dog-pile hugging me during story time! The children's response to my change of attitude and approach to their learning was overwhelmingly heart warming. I saw a wonderfully loving side to some of the kids that had been driving me crazy before. It gave me hope that I could really do this job well and still keep my sanity in tact. Each day, my interactions with the kids have improved. Although, it is by no means a miracle transformation. There still are plenty of frustrating moments during the day. But overall, with the shift of my perspective, things are going a lot better. I have hope for our class.
Practice makes Pickle!
