Teachers have it tough. No matter what they do, they always have more homework than their students or anyone else in a similar paygrade. Between grading, differentiated instruction, and making up solid lesson plans; it can be tough to keep up.
That's where I stepped in. One of my Denver friends is working as a combination 1st/2nd grade teacher here and she loves it. But, because she is teaching two separate grades, it means that she has double the work to do...all in her second language.
My first large act of kindness was to make a set of posters and donate some school supplies to my friend's budding classroom.
It wasn't an exceptionally difficult task to do. While watching horrible MTV Reality shows, I made two posters for her classroom. I combined those with a few other things: children's books from Goodwill and school supplies and presented them to my friend.
She was pretty excited to get everything and I was equally as excited to give them to her.
Sending this kindness forward, I have sent my journal to a girl who is both beautiful inside and out, Christine. Let's hope that she is able to add kindness to some lucky Philadelphian's day.
