During my teaching years, I worked with many teaching assistants. They were important partners in my classroom. They are dedicated and work hard to help students learn. They don't get enough credit for their contributions. I wrote this poem as a tribute to them.

Note: I've been working to update my blog. I'm grateful for the how-to videos on YouTube!  There's still a lot I need to figure out including how to get my links to work. Technology is challenging for me, but I'm getting there. 

A big thank you to Margaret for hosting this week's Poetry Friday on her blog Reflections on the Teche.  

Have a great week!

    1. Thank you, Rose. The blog is definitely a work-in-progress and a slow one at that. : )

  2. I love this two voice poem dedicated to teaching assistants. I had someone in mind as I read this. She is now able to teach in her own classroom having finished her degree in her late 50’s, but she was one of the best assistants ever. She definitely cared deeply and it showed.

  3. Thank you for sharing that. I'm so happy to hear she didn't let age stop her from achieving her dream.
