"Be a teacher"

Being a teacher is an art, a profession and a vocation:
An art, because each group, each child, needs a variation, an adjustment and a personal attention, which demands sensitivity, flexibility and originality.
A profession, because you must know who the children are and how they develop, and, in addition, you must know about reading and writing, mathematics, science, etc. You must know many strategies and methodologies and be clear about your vision of the world and your role as a teacher.
But, beyond this, you must have the necessary vocation to visualize that your job is to contribute to the formation of a person who must face his own challenges and learn, who comes to school with his soul, heart, mind and spirit willing to be the best. Each teacher depends, within the school environment, how much progress, and when he learns

Teachers, we want them because...

• Every day they teach us with love and open the doors of their hearts ...
• They understand our limitations and help us overcome them ...
• They make us travel with imagination to the world of stories and fantasy.
• They teach us to trust in our own strength ...
• They are happy with our progress ...
• They give us a little kiss when we get hurt and we miss mom ...
• They comfort us if something scares us and show us that there is nothing to fear.
• They make us feel important ...
• For all this and much more, we want to say: "THANKS!

Poetry:
1.TO THE TEACHER
It's at school another mother
who guides with their advice;
is an expert seeder
of noble knowledge;
It's a gentle hand that guides
and it is light that illuminates paths.
It is, in short, the teacher,
warm and tender bunch
of kind patience
and of maternal affection

2.TO THE TEACHER
My mother gives me life,
my father gives me sustenance,
and the school teacher,
cultivate my understanding.
To my beloved teacher,
who gives me his science,
your love and your care,
with infinite patience.
I offer my gratitude
and my love without story,
why full of beauty,
to my poor knowledge.
