G and H

G is for Guarantee.

As we know there are not a lot of 
them in this world.

But we are going to talk positively 
on this.

Yes, my "kids" deal with lots of obstacles 
in their lifetime but for the most part are 
not aware of any of them. Which is good. 
Their parents on the other hand get to do 
the dealing with those obstacles.

Now back to our word---at school we guar-
antee that we will guide, cheer, redirect, 
provide as much help they may need and 
love our kids. Not all days go this way but 
we try very hard at it.

Our "kids" will continue to deal with 
obstacles as they grow and we hope that 
as they move from elementary school to 
middle school they continue to have 
people around them to do what we have 
done for them.

H is for Heart

To teach one must have heart.

The heart to deal with the good, the 
bad and the ugly.

A good day is when everyone is happy, 
things get done and no one has a melt-
down (kids or adults.)  Adult ones 
happen when the kids are out of the 
room. All staff are in attendance.  
Recess outside!

A bad day involves those meltdowns, 
non compliance, two or more staff are 
gone, things don't get done and we 
have to stay inside for recess!

An ugly day involves two or more sick 
kids and or staff, runny snotty noses,
and barking coughs, kids screaming 
and tantrums being thrown, more 
meltdowns and these are  the days that 
the staff would like to run away from. 
Thankfully these  are few and far
between!

Often we ask ourselves:

"What am I doing here?"
"Am I making a difference?"
"Maybe I should change careers?"

But we wake up the next morning
and do it all over again because
WE HAVE HEART!!!
