This week we read The Great Big Turnip. We retold the story by performing a puppet show for our third grade friends. We had a lot of fun retelling the story!
I have a great job in the universe of occupations. What do I do? I am a "star polisher."
It's a very important job. If you want to know how important, just go out at night and look at the stars twinkling and sparkling.
You see, I'm a teacher, an educator, a mentor. The stars are the children in my class.
My job is to take them-in whatever shape they come- and shine and buff them and then send them out to take their places as bright beacons in the sky.
They come into my room in all shapes and sizes. Some are tarnished and broken, some are prickly and thorny, others are soft and cuddly. As I buff and polish, I train and teach my little stars.
I tell them the world cannot do without them. I tell them they can be the brightest, shiniest stars in the sky and the world will be a better place because of them.
Each night as I look at the sky, I'm reminded of the very important job and awesome responsibility. Then I get my soft buffing cloth and my bottle of polish in preparation for tomorrow...for my class of little stars. ~ Anonymous
