Last Tuesday, I posted a video of Will coming to talk to our 1st grade about setting goals, effort, determination, perseverance, etc. I have been doing a “unit” themed around these words/ideas, and he came and talked to our kids the day before their ITBS testing. They loved it. My kids worked harder and were more on task during testing than close to any other class I have ever had (seriously). Every student was serious about doing their best and they have even started correcting me when I say do your best. Me: “just do your best.” Them: “Don’t you mean, give it your best effort?” I have loved seeing my students so engaged and excited about learning. So, we decided to make Mr. Will a video to, hopefully, help inspire and encourage him the way that he helped to inspire and encourage us! I love my students. I love watching my students be so excited about learning. I love watching my students achieve their goals. I love my brother. I love watching my brother run. I love watching my brother achieve his goals. This video is those things put together. I love this video.
