"Mistakes are proof
that you are TRYING."
We go to work everyday to try and teach our students to learn, experience, and grow. We have them open their minds and become great learners. So often we make mistakes along the way but I think that this quote is so true that mistakes are proof that you are trying. When students make mistakes they sometimes feel like they have failed. But if you remind them that mistakes are proof of their effort in learning it will make them build self confidence. Sometimes they just need that little reminder to give them motivation to keep trying. Even as educators, we need that little motiviation to help us.
Stef,
ReplyDeleteI concur! Making mistakes is a part of life. If we learn from them, we will continue to get stronger, wiser, and achieve our goals. May you all continue to keep moving forward, despite the challenges that may come your way. You can do it!
Best regards,

I am the queen of mistakes and I admit that I have made many and continue to make them as I make my imprint in this life. But I would like to view my mistakes as learning experiences because that's what I try to muster when I do encounter a challenging snag.
