My little one sat watching me put on my make-up this
morning, fascinated by what I was doing. I cooingly told her that she was already
perfect and didn’t need to wear make-up. Then I thought, what does that say
about the way I view myself – imperfect. Even though I know I was fearfully and
wonderfully made – I have imperfections now. And that’s when those wonderful,
albeit slightly altered, words of Mary Poppins came into my heart, “Perfectly
imperfect”.
When I want inspiration for my classroom, there are several
teaching blogs I view. There are so many talented, creative teachers out there
with hearts to give their students the best learning experiences. While teaching
blogs are there to inspire greatness and share wonderful activities and
strategies, occasionally it can make me feel like I fall short. Not the case.
And since you are here, putting time and effort into looking for ideas and
strategies to use in your classroom, I assure you it’s not the case for you,
either.
So, here I am, revealing to you that I am a perfectly
imperfect teacher. I hope to share with
you some of our planned and unplanned happenings in second grade. May it
inspire and encourage you!
