Proudest Moment as a Teacher

Thursday was a very productive day with Holy Spirit's Helping Hands. It was easily one of my proudest days as a teacher. The students all worked very hard and have started taking full responsibility for the organization. The students were all working hard on their own tasks. Most making bracelets and necklaces, some writing posts and others designing videos.

Half way through the day, some of my grade 5/6 students came up to me asking to discuss the organization. The students proposed to sell the bracelets at Parent-Teacher Interview Night. The students called their parents, planned and set up a booth and made posters. In just a few hours, the students had many $200-$300 by selling $2-$3 bracelets. These students who organized this, exemplified everything I want to instil in my students. These students are not memorizing a worksheet; they are finding their passion, using their gifts, developing skills that will matter in the world.
