When you thought I wasn't looking by Mary Rita Schilke Korzan
When you thought I wasn't looking, you displayed my first report, and I wanted to do another.
When you thought I wasn't looking, you fed a stray cat, and I thought it was good to be nice to animals.
When you thought I wasn't looking, you gave me a sticker, and I knew that little things were special things.
When you thought I wasn't looking, you put your arm around me, and I felt loved.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw tears come from your eyes, and I learned that sometimes things hurt - but that it is ok to cry.
When you thought I wasn't looking, you smiled, and it made me want to look that pretty too.
When you thought I wasn't looking, you cared, to say thanks for all those things you did when you thought I wasn't looking.
1. Teachers make a difference when they think no one is looking. Is this true in your school?
I think this is very true. Teachers do the little things that no one pays attention to and help us out when we are not looking. In being a teacher its your job to be the anonymous helper and guide those when they are not looking
ReplyDeleteThis is very true in schools. Teachers don't think that were paying attention, but we really are. The teacher may hang up our assingment on the wall, or write excellent work on your paper. Those things make students feel noticed, and appreciated for what they do.
ReplyDeleteYes!! 110% agree!!! Most of my teachers have made a difference when I was looking and not looking. I may have made bad on a test and they wrote a little note telling me to try harder because they know I can do it. I appricaiate all my teachers because they all have made a difference some how.
ReplyDeleteI believe that this is true for our school. Teachers always strive to make a difference wheather someone is looking or not. Teachers at our school always help and get class ready for the students.
ReplyDeleteyes they do because when they are planing and no one is around that is a difference. the teachers make differences everyday.
ReplyDeleteI do believe that this is true. All of my teachers are always going by the rules and making sure their on task, and their also making sure all of the students are on task. No matter who is looking my teachers are teaching and being respectful.
ReplyDeleteI believe this is true for most of the teachers in my school. To be a great teacher you have to truly want to inspire kids and go above and beyond to reach out to all of them. In my opinion, if they are a good teacher they strive to make a difference in a child's life.
ReplyDeleteThis is very true in our school. Most teachers think we are not paying attention in class cause we are bored in stuff but we really are. But when they praise us on our work it makes us feel good and do better so we can have more attention from them.
ReplyDeleteThis poem is true. Teachers do little things that they think we do not notice. When answering a question the teacher might say good job or very good and when you're told that you have did something good it makes you feel good. Teachers are supposed to be there for their students and make them feel like they are noticed and that they are doing something good.
ReplyDeleteI think this is true. Everyone has that one teacher at least that has made an impact in their life even if that teacher doesn't ever know it and most of the time its for things no one else sees. When they give us the smallest amount of praise even if its just a good job on something it makes us feel good to know we're doing something right.
ReplyDeleteThis is true because all my teachers think that when they are doing something that we are not paying attention. When teachers say that we did a good job or praise us it makes us feel good. It makes us want to do more work and do it great.
ReplyDeleteI believe that this is true in my school. Several of my teachers have done things to students that make a difference. From buying things for them to simply feeling sympathy for them at a bad time, it's all the same and makes the students see them as another parent.
