For Teachers....

author unknown

                Though I have all the construction paper, glitter and posters, puzzles and activities   and have attended many workshops, but have not love , I am not a teacher.   
 

                For being a teacher is more than being on time every day and having lessons  prepared.   
 

                A teacher is kind and smiles alot. A teacher looks neat and is not easily provoked   when little things go wrong such as the heating and cooling..or the overheated   projector.   
 
 

                A teacher is not envious of others' talents, uses his or her own creativity and talents  to the best of his or her own ability. And he or she is not afraid to ask for help.   
 

                A teacher seeks not praise but works to help children grow.   

                A teacher bears the problems, believes and hopes the best for all the children.   

                For a teachers work is in vain unless he or she has true interest in the children.   

                Where there be magic markers..they will dry up.   

                Where there be chalk on the chalkboard..they will crumble.   

                Where there be printed literature..it will fade. But love will endure forever as it is  shared in the lives of students.   
 

                And now abides planning, preparation, and love- these three , but the greatest of  these is love.   
 

                For without love, our work is nothing .
