    “Guiding Light”

    In the hallowed halls of learning, where wisdom blooms and dreams take flight, There stands an unwavering beacon, our teacher, a guiding light.

    With chalk-dusted hands and eyes that see, they weave tales of courage and might. Their words, like constellations, set us free. They are our teacher, a guiding light.
     
    In algebraic equations and poetic rhyme, they unravel mysteries hidden from sight, patiently nurturing each young mind. Our teacher is a guiding light.
     
    They ignite curiosity and spark the flame. In the classroom’s quiet, they ignite. Their passion fuels our hearts’ acclaim. Our teacher is a guiding light.
     
    Through storms of doubt and skies of hope, They steer our ships toward futures bright, Their legacy etched in every heart’s scope, our teacher, a guiding light.
     
    So here’s to you, dear mentor, dear friend, for shaping souls with love so right. In gratitude, our voices ascend to our amazing teacher, our guiding light.
     
    Thank you, Wishram Teachers, for your wisdom, perseverance, courage, and time. You are most Appreciated!

    CEL to Ponder:
    CP3 Discipline-specific teaching approaches
     
    The teacher uses discipline-specific teaching approaches and strategies that develop students’ conceptual understanding and 
    discipline-specific habits of thinking on a daily basis.
     
    A Little Humor:
    -How did Vikings communicate with one another? By Norse code.
    -How did Benjamin Franklin feel when he discovered electricity? He was shocked!
    -Which is the worst sport to play? Bad-minton.
    -Why don’t the other farm animals like playing basketball with pigs? They’re ball hogs.
    -Chuck Norris can slam revolving doors.
