Beyond the Classroom

Math night! Today was math night at my former school. An event where parents and students worked together and completed math problems. This is a new initiative. I was not there, but my former students decided to leave such a warm voicemail that I could not resist posting on this blog.

Teaching can be very difficult and stressful without much or any positive feedback, and if you are enthusiastic about teaching, sometimes we always wonder and ask ourselves "is what I'm doing really meaningful? "Am I really making a difference?"

I am grateful, and thankful that despite only being with them for 4 months, the bond that I have with my students has clearly transcended my classroom. My students call, text, and email just to say hello and to talk, and/or to ask me questions and help them with their homework. I love them too.
