I didn't really have a favorite quote that stuck out to me about children so I went on a hunt. I wanted to find something that reflected how I felt about children and I knew as soon as I heard it it would be the one. I searched and searched. Even though some were really good, one quote really stuck with me and reflected how I view children personally and professionally.
"I brought children into this dark world because it needed the light that only a child can bring."
~Liz Armbruster
Sometimes we get so stuck in the everyday routines of life, we forget that children are the lights of the world and that they are precious gifts given to us to take care of and nurture to grow into responsible caring adults!!

Miss Tizzy
Miss Tizzy is one of my favorite books. This book shows me the kind of teacher I wanted to be and how each child should have someone like this in their lives. Someone patient, creative, loving and nurturing. Miss Tizzy's character allows the children to feel safe and valued. She gives them the opportunity to share themselves and teach them how to respect and care for others who are in need. In return, when Miss Tizzy is ill and can no longer be there for them in the same way, they know what to do! They send her their love through their actions! I love the message this book sends that children need to be taught by example and given the time and the opportunity, they will learn what is important in life. That how you treat people and the way you make them feel about themselves is what really counts.
