Beloved and award-winning grade-school teacher Ann Moehrle Scotland
adds the K of kindness to the three Rs of reading, 'riting, and
'rithmetic as she empowers her young students to nurture their
dreams, express compassion, give thanks, and share their generosity
of spirit. In "Treasures of a Teacher's Heart," Scotland collects
real-life stories from her twenty-two second graders who know
first-hand that simple gifts from the heart can indeed make a
difference.
Each child's essay is presented with Scotland's thoughtful
introduction and motivating Life Lessons at the end-universal
lessons about taking pride in accomplishment (performing magic
tricks at a school talent show), acknowledging the support of
family (counting on Dad to keep you upright as you attempt to ride
a two-wheeler), celebrating heritage (examining Russian nesting
dolls), mentoring others (modeling friendship for younger
students), summoning faith and courage (healing from a tumor), and
more. This uplifting book also includes Scotland's timeless rules
for students, teachers, and parents as well as creative activities
for helping kids foster their unique skills and talents as they
embrace life with kindness and reap the inevitable rewards of
peace, hope, and love.
One heart and two hands "can" change the world-one person at a
time.
