I do my best to impart, “Teach me to say your name, and hold me accountable,” to my students.

I love this video, and the poem, “This Is Not A Small Voice” when it comes to names.

I do the same thing. I tell them their names are important.

I have some students who may need to correct me all year, but I hope they know that I keep trying, even if I am having trouble getting my ears and mouth around certain sounds.

Our whole school has a poetry choice bracket and this poem won last year!
