#ReflectiveTeacher Blogging Challenge Days 15 & 16: Superpowers
Days 15 and 16 are about superpowers: the powers I have, and the power I wish I had. I got a little behind, so allow me to combine my reflections for Days 15 and 16 into one “powerful” post.
Curiosity: I am able to question everything I see, hear, read, and believe in a single bound. I do it a lot. I always want to know more and try new things. It keeps me flexible and growing.
Ambition: I want to get better and expect great things, from myself and my young charges. I know if I keep pushing the limits, we’ll keep getting further and further, always outdoing ourselves.
Stubbornness: I lose plenty of battles on a daily basis, but I keep fighting. Granted, I’m getting better at picking my battles, but I can also power through when I need to keep pushing.
Now for Day 16, I got a little wistful and poetic.
If you could have one superpower to use in the classroom, what would it be and how would it help?
Hearts murmuring worry:
sickness, death, loss
Symptoms some can see:
disappointment,
pressure,
chronic pain
Bringing with their backpacks
bruised attention spans
dangerous dependencies
fractured motivation
malignant loneliness
They come in
stabbed with Stupid knives
cut with Can’t,
Don’t Care
bleeding, weak in front of me
If I had the power,
I would heal them all
