Mid-Term Break Reflections and Reviews. Not Every Child is the Sharpest Pencil—But Every Pencil Can Be Sharpened In every classroom, there are students who grasp concepts quickly and others who need more time and guidance. Not every child starts as the "sharpest pencil in the box," but with patience, the right tools, and consistent support, every child can be sharpened. As educators and parents, our role isn’t just to celebrate the naturally sharp ones but to nurture those who need extra sharpening. With encouragement, tailored instruction, and belief in their potential, every child can grow, learn, and shine in their own way. Let’s commit to sharpening every pencil in our care. ✏️ #EveryChildMatters #GrowthMindset #TeachingWithLove #thejoyfulteacher @highlight N.B. Dear Educators, let's take time to rest and rejuvenate for the second half term💕
