I taught my special ed 5th graders how to write a counterargument in an opinion essay. I said set it up with "Some people think..." Then knock it down with "However..." Then I explained the "Some people think..." was Drake and the "However..." was Kendrick. They all wrote fantastic paragraphs. - ThreadSky

This is brilliant! Your students will learn SO MUCH! You will make a difference in their lives.
They are lucky to have you.

Teachers like you make all the difference!! Especially to those children that process things a little differently and just need someone to help them. You’re that teacher they’ll remember as adults. I have one teacher that I’ll never forget. I think we all do ❤️

Thank you. That's very kind of you to say. Most teachers don't feel this way most of the time, even when it's true.

This proves that it’s not what you say that gets attention; it’s how you say it.

Thank you! My oldest went to a Special Sd preschool at Morningstar in Bozeman, MT. Every day she came home with progress report, what they did that day and personal note from the teacher.
She benefited from that experience. My best to you, my heart goes out to you and your students. ❤️
