The Magic Mirror of Betty Peck

38,187 views
Imagine a magic mirror that you look into to discover how truly wonderful you are. That is the kind of mirror that Betty Peck, a kindergarten teacher with more than 50 years experience, had in all of her classrooms. Whenever one of her students felt worried or unsure, Betty would gently guide the student to look into the magic mirror and say, "How could you forget how wonderful you are?!" In this short film created by a former student of Betty's, this wise woman, now well into her 90's, encourages us to have just such a magic mirror in every kindergarten, every household and every garden. In that way we can all say, "Thank you for every magic moment that makes it possible for me to stand here and to feel how truly wonderful I am."

I am inspired to include such a mirror, both actual and metaphorical, for all children, families, and staff in our school, in my interactions with them.

the love and kindness she shared with everyone and especially small children. they are the ones who will grow up and take over and so many times they are over looked. what a great legacy she lives and will leave behind with all the others she has touched, young and old. :)
