Kindness

Today was my first day as a student teacher. One of the first things my cooperating teacher told me was be kind. It doesn’t matter if I’m having a bad day, or bad week, just take a moment to myself and brush it off. Its important to be kind to everyone, all the staff, and of course the kids. It will benefit you and create a better working environment.

Apparently everyone has that mentality. I was greeted by everyone that crossed my path. Everyone was smiling and despite the long hours I spent labeling and organizing I felt really good when I left. This is one concept that’s very obvious, but often ignored. I’m going to make a bigger effort to keep this in mind.
