A NEW SCHOOL YEAR BEGINS

Now that teachers are heading back to their classrooms…

now that their students are returning

It’s time to think about all the teaching that will occur this year

It’s time to ponder all the learning….

 

It’s time for each student to try their hardest to learn

As they become a classroom member…

And it’s time for teachers, and all of us who were students,

to look back…and to remember….

 

To remember how lucky are we that in our lives

we often find it prudent….

to sometimes be the teacher…

while other times…the student.

 

That around every corner

over every hill 

and around every turn…

we discover opportunities to teach…

as well as opportunities to learn.

 

And if we’re lucky… truly lucky

as this magical orb keeps turning

we understand when we should be teaching…

 

and when we should be learning.
