Teacher Kary

So suffer the little children.... what started out as an Art Teachaing Position ended up as a full time Teaching position of 4th and 5th graders. I am Currently teaching a blended class of 4 kids... thank the lord there are not more than that because the poor children would somewhere, along the line expect a house to fall on them at my command.. hench the wizard of oz images....

I really am loving, teaching again, it has been nearly 6 years since teaching on a regular basis. Instead of teaching preschool, the 9 and 10 year olds are catching my attention...I told ROb / HUbs that i was sure this age was my favorite to teach. Rob Laughed and can you believe what he said next? Kary, you say that about every age. Oh. whoops.

I have had to overcome some demons from my childhood in order to teach. I think just being able to talk about those ugly labels that made me feel and react like an inadequate learner had to be addressed. Pam, the Saint i work for at TREC Academy has been very loving and straight with me.. this combined with my loving and straight foreward sister Jalet have led to the foot of Jesus on more than a couple occasions recently. There, i kneel and ask God to take the ugly stigma of my childhood and allow me to see it as usable substance for these students. the children that i have fallen so deeply in love with.

Let me rant about learning Disabilities, or the stupid educators that slap that stinking lable on kids, rather than learn the childs learning style.... I will call my students Fred, Barney, Wilma, and Betty~
Fred is from the Ukrain and becuase of English as a 2nd language school has been tough and he fell through the cracks, that and that he is lazy with his school work has made Fred, a target for "educational learning disabilities.... the truth is fred is amazingly smart! Fred needs to learn hands on and with his mouth,,, meaning Fred likes to talk and move around... so that is how Fred is learning now and excelling like crazy!Does that mean Fred is allowed to disrupt or act like her has Teretts? nope... Fred is learning to suck up some quiet time and work. Guess what... Fred is now seeing the gold inside himself that God placed there. not the lump of coal others used to lable him with... wow to see Fred's face light up when he aces his spelling test...AGAIN!
Horray last week Fred and another student of mine "Barney recieved Christ!!!

Thank you God that you allow me to work with your Saints. That i am privledged to be taught by them as much as they learn from me. Thank you Fred for seeing that you are not a failure.. that God has made you amazingly ABLE!

until then.... think twice about the label you are quick to slap on others... if that lable is negitive it probably does not belong.. like my friend Fred. To see the website of the school i teach at, the school my kids attend... go to....
