Observation hours done...but I am not

The observation hours that I mentioned earlier have been completed and I hope to now reflect upon both my time there and my time in space (we always have time in space since we always occupy space - we are spatial creatures...and this occupancy of space is not without its limitations...hence - time). The kids actually wrote me a real nice poem about ...well... me. They more than often referred to me as both a teacher and a friend. I did try to be that for them. I think that that is important. I do not like to maintain a position of authority over them. I see myself more as their guide and I think that they can really pick up on that and appreciate it. I will write more later...
