In my new role – leading student writing residencies – I had the pleasure of working in three schools last week. It has become quite obvious that kids are kids wherever we are! Sure, individual personalities are unique and group dynamics distinct; however, the tendencies are the same.
Each class has the intent listeners, the social butterflies, the compassionate kids, the deep thinkers, the complimentary kids, and of course, those-who-would-talk-all-day-if-we-let-them kids!
I am so thankful for the opportunity to teach my passion to children: I delight in their authentic, enthusiastic and joyful nature.
Everywhere they are “kids”. I’m glad to hear you think so, too! It’s fun to read your descriptions!
Couldn’t agree more. I enjoyed reading this.
So much truth within your post! It’s very rewarding to have the talent to teach children.
