One Thing We Can Do

Today I was away at a training session. I always love to hear about the many things I can do as a teacher to foster learning in my students. But missing a day of school always makes me realize just how much I love, more than anything, to be with my students! Because at the end of the day, they are the ones who teach me the most. In my work tonight, I came across some photos and a quote that I feel go together beautifully...

"More and more I've come to understand that listening is one of the most important things we can do for one another...

Whether the other be an adult or a child, our engagement in listening to who that person is can often be our greatest gift...

Whether that person is speaking or playing or dancing, building or singing or painting, if we care, we can listen."          Mister Rogers
