Just a cute little poem to make you smile

Searching for Gold

Look beneath the freckles
Look beneath the grin
Look for that which sparkles
Buried deep within.

Look beyond the whining
Look beyond the tears
Look beyond the runny nose
The frowns, the mess, the fears.

Search for that which glitters
Treasures to unfold
Search beneath the surface
Search and find the gold!

This is short and sweet, but I really love it. I figured that any other future teacher would too, so enjoy! I'll see you all Monday. Enjoy the rest of your weekend :)

    Searching for Gold

    Look beneath the freckles
    Look beneath the grin
    Look for that which sparkles
    Buried deep within.

    Look beyond the whining
    Look beyond the tears
    Look beyond the runny nose
    The frowns, the mess, the fears.

    Search for that which glitters
    Treasures to unfold
    Search beneath the surface
    Search and find the gold!

  6. No problem, ladies:) I have a couple of sites that I like to go to find stuff like this. They're great at reminding us why we work so hard.

  7. I love this! Especially:

    "Look beyond the whining
    Look beyond the tears
    Look beyond the runny nose
    The frowns, the mess, the fears"

    I work with 32 kindergarteners, which is not easy, but little things like this are great reminders as to why I love my job!

  8. This poem is cute and is a great reminder to not judge others by their appearance but what is deep within, and to also challenge your students to their fullest potential.
