What Do Your Students Teach You? Through the years as I have worked with children, I have known the importance of being the right kind of example but never realized until two years ago that our every move was ob- served and copied. One student had to have the same kind of animal cookies that I ate and an- other was wearing glasses down on her nose to look over them as I have to do with 'half' glasses. My students have taught me that we all are truly a 'living cur- riculum'. Gladys Busby My students have taught and are continuing to teach me the importance of listening. This is an important lesson not only in teaching, but in everyday life. Time must be given to everyone to be heard without quickly pushing them away until later. Miss Shappell I enjoy teaching young chil- dren because of their honesty, their sincerity and their love. They encourage me to be a bet- ter teacher. Mrs. Greer Children are the greatest teachers of love, patience, and understanding. Their child-like faith reminds me constantly of where my faith needs to be.

For most of their stu- dents, it is only their first or sec- ond year of school, and the idea of it is still new and can be frightening. But the teachers are kind and comforting, and the kids quickly settle down to the interesting activities the days ahead hold for them. AC3Cl0ll1lCSf6l

AAAA AAAA ls What Do Your Students Teach You? Working with elementary children teaches me to be aware of simple pleasures. As grown- ups our lives often become complicated by materialism, and we miss the beauty and wonders of God's creation. Observing a child's sheer joy of living' is very refreshing to me. Mrs. Burlison Throughout the year my chil- dren teach me great lessons in thanking God for all things. Ev- ery morning they thank God for so many of the things I seem to take for granted. Jo Ann Gilbert Second, third, and fourth grade is a time of learning new things that they will always use. Second graders go into exten- sive word study such as hom- onyms and synonyms. Mrs. Bus- by and Miss Shappell have games and puzzles to help them study. Third grade teachers are busy helping their students learn how to write cursive. As strange as it may seem at first, they soon learn all about it. Multiplication is an all new process to fourth graders, but the teachers make it all interesting and fun. These students will never forget their years at S.B.E.C. and their teach- ers will never forget them.
