I consider it to be such a blessing and privilege to work with children. I'm just trying to get a good quote to go at the end of my e-mails that summarizes the importance and beauty of teaching. I teach grades five and six. Thanks in advance.

Every other profession is POSSIBLE because of teachers.......
I am a teacher (15 yrs+) and I maintain a website each school year with inspirational quotes:
Teachers make every other profession possible

Perhaps it is the quote that is typically attributed to Emerson, though it's a bit long for an e-mail signature:
To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.
I know wetheteachers.com also has rotating quotes that I like, plus a great way for teachers to connect. Here are some I've seen there:
"The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds..."
-- Anatole France
"Teaching provides a way to stay young at heart, to maintain a lifetime of active learning...it is in every respect a profession of hope."
-- Vito Perrone
"Learning is at its best when it is deadly serious and very playful at the same time."
-- Sarah Lawrence Lightfoot
"No bubble is so iridescent or floats longer than that blown by the successful teacher."
-- William Osler
and my favorite so far...
"Spoon feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon."
-- E.M. Forster

If you give someone a fish, you feed them for a day. If you teach them to fish, you feed them for a lifetime.

I saw this on the wall of my supervising teacher last year and it stuck with me.
"A child doesn't care how much you know, until the child knows how much you care."
