A Message from Our Teachers

K-5 teachers at D.J. Montague wrote this poem during our 6+1 Traits of Writing (Culham) book discussion. Teachers meet monthly to discuss one of the writing traits and to share ideas used in their classrooms.

I am a teacher.
I am an encourager.
I am the musical note that begins the day.
I am a foundation builder.
I am helping my students feel confident and secure.
I am igniting the spark, the desire to learn.
I am pushing you to accomplish more than you thought you ever could.
I am the smile, the laugh, and voice of encouragement that makes learning fun.
I am one who believes in each and every student.
I am a smiling face to my students.
I am the voice they hear whispering, You can do it.
I am the motivator to boost self esteem.
I am patience, encouragement, and understanding.
I am their greatest cheerleader and their #1 fan.
I am thrilled by small successes.
I am drill sergeant, cheerleader, mother, lawmaker, nurse. I never give up.
I am the voice of reason in an unreasonable world.
I am creating the future.
I am the beginning of greatness.
I am a teacher.
