A lot of this steamed from home, but the teachers didn’t know that and the reason for my constant need of reassurance and praise. To this day I still have memories of being told to sit don’t often and feeling like I was a bother to them when I was just needing reassurance , approval , to feel safe to make a mistake, that I’m ok. Teaching isn’t just about making sure your students academic needs are met, the social and emotional needs to be factored in to make a student successful . The feelings of the past have me crying right now, I wish I could have helped that little girl, because if I had , I would make sure that I she felt valued in the classroom, knew she was ok and I could tell she was trying hard and that I thought she was amazing , kind and funny. I would be able to show her different ways to learn how to read and spell. I would tell her its ok that she didn’t get to the 7 times, even though the rest of the class is already moved on, or the many times she would walk back from the chalkboard unable to answer the question again in front of the whole class. we could work on ways to memories these tables , we would have base tens blocks, hundred charts, we would draw
