I'm a RE-new teacher. I taught for five years six years ago. After some reflection and introspection I made a return to the classroom. I know teach 2nd grade in the inner for Atlanta Public Schools. This isn't a horrible school at all. By no stretch of the imagination is it an upscale place either. We grind here. We get down in the trenches and work with some lovely kids who just don't want what we're selling. Daily I'm given the opportunity of inspiring a group of children to believe that no matter where they're from they can do awesome things if they put their minds towards it. It's a real blast and that's why they say "Welcome back Mr. Whitaker".
I've told you how I'm a ClassDojo devotee. It so useful and fun. My student like it and when I tie some real rewards to it, magic happens. See how someone else is making magic happen.
