Butterflies are symbols of hope.

Butterflies are beautiful. They appear to be so joyful as they flutter around. They are symbols of hope. They start out so differently as caterpillars, and then emerge into beautiful butterflies. They are transformed.

You help “transform” children through the work you do. Sometimes they are shy children who do not want to talk, and through your gentle prompting, they begin to socialize more with others. Sometimes, they are students with behavior problems, and through your consistent and firm classroom management, they are “transformed” to engage in more appropriate behaviors. Sometimes, they are students with disabilities who come in to your classroom feeling “different” and hopeless, and they leave your classroom transformed with hope through the encouragement and support you gave them. You are a difference maker.

Have a wonderful day and a wonderful week.
