As we prepared to leave Thursday our teacher quickly reminded us that we needed to say goodbye to the kids. We immediately went through the lunch line to share some quick " have a great weekend" " see you next week" and high fives. It might be just my imagination, but the kids were sad to see us go. We have only been working with them for 2 weeks and I'm already attached! But what was more obvious was that they were already attached too.
This has an impact on me as a future teacher. Kids value your time and presence. Although I am just an intern I too have an impact on their lives. I need to remember that whatever capacity I am in, teacher, administrator, volunteer, community builder, that I am representing and modeling the person that I am proud of and who I want my kids to see.
