I often wonder what some our children’s lives are like while they are not at school. Especially the children that seem to misbehave the worst. What could be going on in that house that would allow for such, seemingly, poor behavior? Children are having to deal with so much adult stuff, that it’s hard make them be children when they come to school. That’s when it becomes hard for me and I have to release the need to control them and try to be an example. I also start thanking the children are behaving like children so  they will know what is expected. Most of the times if you don’t give poor behavior attention, it will just pass on by! So I send love to wherever my children are. I bless each home with love. I pray that we, teachers, will teach with compassion and realize that sometimes you have to stop your lesson just to let the children tell you what’s on their mind. So whatever it is they are going through when they are not with me; I affirm that All is Well and They are Safe! My students are learning and growing day by day. All of my children are learning to Stop Think and Breathe and Make the right choice, and share this with their parents. They will look forward to coming to school and learning something new! ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM! ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL! #IBlessMySchoolWithLove I Bless My Students With LoveToo!

Today is Fabulous Friday! It is our day to let the little child within us laugh and play more than ever! Life is meant to be exciting, but sometimes we get so bogged down with being a teacher, that we lock the little child within us away. Let them out TODAY! Your sentence over. Bobby McFerrin said it best. . . . . “Don’t Worry, Be Happy!” Today I release the need to control my students and I realize that I am here to aide them on their life’s journey and to help them train their minds to think. I can laugh and play with my students. No longer will I be the spirit crusher. ( Just as an aside. . .  Something in me used to get very angry when I sent a child to timeout and they went over smiling. That made me feel the punishment wasn’t harsh enough. I am grateful to God for growing and learning. I now know, that it is not my job to punish students. I am simply a guide) I will guide my students with joy and not take myself too serious! I will laugh at my mistakes and theirs too. Every child I encounter today is only a mirror of my inner thoughts so I think thoughts of JOY LOVE and PEACE! ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM! ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL! #IBlessMySchoolWithLove

Happy Thursday My Awesome Educators !!!! Many times I remember my teachers in school bubbling over with anger stating that one thing or another was their “pet peeve”. That made the other students and I tread lightly because it was our desire to please our teacher. However, this is a new generation of students! They are coming out with the mindset of everything we have been saying we wanted or didn’t want. Pleasing themselves and following what makes them happy is the only thing on their mind. They will not allow your pet peeves stop their happiness. I found that releasing my pet peeves and accepting the students as they are, have helped me to keep my classroom happy and peaceful. The  students normally react to my actions. Releasing my “pet peeves”have helped me to not give attention to behaviors that do not serve us well in the classroom. I stop and breathe in deep  then breathe out the words “All is Well in My Classroom”. I find that those behaviors just pass on by. Let’s state throughout the day that I release the need to try and control everything and everybody and I affirm that I trust the process of life. All is Well in My Classroom! Everyday is a new day, the past is passed. Today I will put myself in check and choose happiness at all times. I bless my students with love. I bless with even more love the students that press my pet peeves. I will realize today, that every issue that arises in my classroom is an issue within me. What is going on with me that allows a little child to take me to the limits of anger? I affirm  that I am learning and growing with joy! I teach with ease! My students are agreeable and learn with ease! ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM! ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL! #IBlessMySchoolWithLove

Good Morning Awesome Educators! It’s the day that everyone calls HUMP Day! We don’t have to dread the days as if it’s going to be a bad day. We can create the kind of day we want! Stop depending on the actions of other people to keep you happy! You have to decide to be happy! It’s a choice! So let’s affirm that everyday is a wonderful day. I look forward to what each new hour brings. Each hour with  my class brings new learning experiences  and chances for my students to show how awesome they are! They are learning and I am grateful that they are with me when they make mistakes so that I can point them in the right direction. Mistakes are a natural part of learning. I do not make my children feel bad when they make they’re mistakes. I see my children learning from every experience with ease. My classroom is a peaceful haven! It is safe to learn and grow in my classroom! ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM! ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL! #IBlessMySchoolWithLove

Everyday is a Happy Day! Why wait for Friday or payday! Just send love ahead of you and set your mind to having a great day! I will not allow the actions of others determine my feelings. I choose joy!  The more I love and approve of myself, the better I feel! My positive energy is rubbing off on my students. ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM! ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL! #IBlessMySchoolWithLove

Today is an Amazing Day!  This is the start of a new week! I release the past and move forward in joy! Today love fills my classroom and my students learn with ease! I teach with ease! I see my students for who they are inside and I realize that they are all mirrors of me! ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM! ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL! #IBlessMySchoolWithLove

It is very seldom that children will do what adults say. The majority of the time they will do as you do. Classroom rules say, “Treat others the way you want to be treated.” However, in the same breath we yell at them and use sarcasm. In return that’s the way they behave. We are teachers and sometime that means we have to teach our students how to live so we have to be careful of how we talk to our students. Sometimes I have to apologize to my students because I yelled at them. Just as I yelled, I could see the life drain from them. That’s not teaching! Teaching is inspiring students to live up to their highest potential!

This reminds me of a poem be Dorothy Law Nolte.

CHILDREN LEARN WHAT THEY LIVE

Dorothy Law Nolte

If a child lives with criticism,
he learns to condemn.

If a child lives with hostility,
he learns to fight.

If a child lives with fear,
he learns to be apprehensive.

If a child lives with pity,
he learns to feel sorry for himself.

If a child lives with ridicule,
he learns to be shy.

If a child lives with jealousy,
he learns what envy is.

If a child lives with shame,
he learns to feel guilty.

If a child lives with encouragement,
he learns to be confident.

If a child lives with tolerance,
he learns to be patient.

If a child lives with praise,
he learns to be appreciative.

If a child lives with acceptance,
he learns to love.

If a child lives with approval,
he learns to like himself.

If a child lives with recognition,
he learns that it is good to have a goal.

If a child lives with sharing,
he learns about generosity.

If a child lives with honesty and fairness,
he learns what truth and justice are.

If a child lives with security,
he learns to have faith in himself and in those about him.

If a child lives with friendliness,
he learns that the world is a nice place in which to live.

If you live with serenity,
your child will live with peace of mind.

With what is your child living?
