In the stresses of beginning a new school year, the to-do list can grow long. My pinterest collection is growing more and more each day. Things to make, furniture move, and a classroom to organize weigh heavily on my mind. I just need to remind myself that it isn't the decorations and the lesson plans that matter... Yes, they make the experience in the classroom better but that is not why we teach. If I can live the words of this prayer, I know I will have a great year. So for myself and all the other teachers entering the new year, I pray this for you.
