On a Positive Note...

I've been talking to the itinerant art teacher at my school, Melissa Kehr. I asked her what about her first year of teaching art has been the most satisfying. She listed the joy she gets when her students learn something. She also loves the fact that she has fun at her job. As I get more experienced the growth I have as a teacher in terms of behavior management, planning lessons and units that make the kids get excited about learning art, and seeing the kids benefit from my program over the years have given me such joy.
