So I learned today from two parents of one of the children in my class that patience is the key to everything.  They asked me to continue to have patience with their child who is struggling in my class and to give her time.  I didn’t realized how impatient I was actually being.  I was just so concerned with getting her to where I thought she should be that I totally disregarded all the progress that she had made already made.  She shouldn’t be where I think she should be, but where she can realistically be. I need to swallow my pride and pay more attention to loving and nurturing her.
