Just Ask 'Em

Ask any teacher you ever meet- seriously- ANY. They've got a favorite school supply. One that makes their heart skip a beat and causes random outbursts of happy dances in the Target isle when they see that their prized possession is on SALE!



I know, you think I'm exaggerating. I'm totally not. You can ask my daughter. She's witnessed it... and even joined in on the dance. (I'm waiting for the day she tells me I'm embarrassing her... probably soon since I already get, "no no Mommy" multiple times a day. LOL) For me, my obsession is PaperMate Flair Tip Pens. Yall.
There is absolutely no way on God's green earth that I could make it through a school day without one of these bad boys. 

What about you? What is the school supply that you can't live without?

A. I. T. Isn’t it just awful?! I have often talked with my coworkers about how this technology infused world has decreased our ability to wait patiently. Students want to just “kno...

Teaching is Hard

Teaching is hard. I'll bet this isn't a newsflash to any of you reading this blog... because most of you are probably teachers. "You get summers off!" people like to say. Yep. I sure do. And with my "summers off" I plan for next year, learn about things to try with my students, attend professional development sessions, attend meetings (yes, you read that right), and do things around my house that I didn't have time to do during the school year.  And you know what? I wouldn't trade it for anything in this world. Teaching is hard. I spend all day with children who belong to other people. I get to know them and I learn to love them. I watch them grow into these amazing little children... and then I say goodbye and send them off. It's hard. There are days when I don't want to send them home because their home lives are not desirable. There are days I don't want to send them home because I wonder if they'll get anything to eat for d...
