I am grateful, but I'm not having a great day. I lost my patience today at school. I hate it when I do that. I have a certain class this year that I just haven't meshed with yet. It's frustrating for all of us. And today, I lost it.
So, I guess my gratitude today has to do with admitting when I'm wrong. I'm not very good at that. I hate being wrong. I got a grip and apologized to the student who took the brunt of the "losing it." We had a talk about her behavior (in a calmer and quieter way), and I apologized.
I don't like losing my patience, but I'm grateful that I can admit when I went too far. Tomorrow will be a better day!
All teachers deserve a medal for being able to deal with so many kids. Especially at that rebellious stage. :0
