LEAD
Vol. 32~ May 8th
Thompson's Talk
To the world you be just a teacher, but to your students you're a HERO!
What a wonderful week it has been! Thanks once again for allowing me to hang out with your kids on Tuesday! I had a blast! I hope you had a great week and that you felt appreciated.
In interviews I have had the opportunity to meet new people and talk, which as you know I love to do. One of the interviewees asked me 2 very important questions at the end of her interview. 1. In one word describe Irvin Elementary? My response-FAMILY. Our staff does such a wonderful job of banding together and we are family.
2. What is my idea of a perfect teacher? My response: To me the perfect teacher is one who takes kids from where they are and moves them where they need to be. Or even closer to the target! My ideal teacher has a heart for all students and wants them to be successful. My ideal teachers work here at JR Irvin!
Another great phrase from interviews I learned this week is "Every kid, everyday!" I loved that one too. Have a great weekend!
Ring the Bell!
