So many times we do things in our classroom and life that no one seems to see. I was reminded of that with two incidents that happened to me this week. First of all I was on my way to the gym when I noticed in the morning a cat hanging out in the middle of the street. She just stood there and did not move. I wondered if she was sick or startled. I stopped the car and she ran away. Behind her was a baby bunny. I talked to the bunny because I know how to talk to them ( having two as pets myself) and he hopped across the street.
It got me thinking about how God sees when we do the right thing. That cat was willing to protect the bunny. We want to help our students even if it is not comfortable or convenient for us to do so. I am so glad to have found a method that works and gets kids excited about learning.
The second thing that happened was on Friday. I was doing recess duty and I was calling a fairly large group to order. Seventy kids are pretty hard to control. But I got them focused on in control with the rules and class yes. My boss who is always encouraging told me that I had really good control of the students. I did not know she was listening or looking in the class. It was the type of compliment that I could tell that she was really surprised.
These two incidents taught me that when you do the right thing the important people see. And that's what counts. Make an impact today even if no one is looking.
