My Wife Is a Natural Teacher.
Today is Dang’s first day of teaching; she has one reading class today. Last night, she worked so very hard. She planned, and practiced, practiced, practiced. I would be her students, and she would take notes from my reactions.
She’s doing a story about the Boston Tea Party, and, let me tell you, it’s really good. Was it good from the beginning? Yes, but there was room for improvement, and improve is exactly what she did.
We woke up early this morning, and she wanted to read first thing. Now, that’s dedication. She read, without any coaching from me, and “nailed” it. Really. She’s got it, but she’s nervous.
Last night, she was excited. This morning, she’s afraid. That’s natural.
Mama, it’s o.k. to be afraid, but find that excitement again. You are going to do something that you can feel very good about. You are going to be doing something that I already see a natural ability in you for. You are going to do something that you have a future in.
I truly believe that my wife’s a natural. I have to work on teaching, for I have a classic case of impatience with children, but not my wife. She’s understanding, caring, and long-enduring….
She has a talent for teaching. Like I said, she’s a natural.
Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
