Maybe your shell is fragile, delicate, and easily broken.
So are your students. Handle them kindly and with care.
Maybe your shell looks beautiful.
Each student in your class has a special beauty.
Discover it and help others to notice it and appreciate it....
Maybe you noticed that your shell has pieces chipped away
or broken off.
Some students have had difficult experiences
That have chipped away their positive self-image or broken their spirit.
Help to rebuild their self-image and rekindle their enthusiasm....
The shell you have in your hand is unique.
It was carried to shore by the ocean just for you.
What will you do with it now that it is yours?
Each student in your class is unique, too.
Each one is in your hands now.
What will you do with your students now that they are yours??
