Where Magic Happens

Yesterday, I was attempting to usher students out of my room at a class change so they could get to their next class two floors down without being late. They were not in a hurry to leave, and I asked them why. I was a little surprised at the response I received!

Mrs. Wilson, this is where magic happens. When I’m in here, we have fun and do cool things. I’m not at school when I am in your room, but when I step out the door, I am back at school.

Wow! What an amazing compliment! I am sure there was a bit of good natured fun in the comment, but I believe there was a lot of truth to it as well. Students want to be in my class because we have fun! Students want to be here because we do cool things. And they like the way the room looks.

I know I am not the perfect teacher, and I have a lot of things I am constantly trying to improve, but I am proud that my students think my classroom is where magic happens.
