We Love TED Talks!

Of course, most teachers love TED Talks. We are no different! We love TED Talks! We have a few favorites we thought we'd share with you. 

This is one of our favorites! We love that she hits the nail on the head. We truly believe in the power of having genuine relationships with our students. We know that kids learn best from people they like. Man, so so true! Even now we learn best from others that we like and respect. Y'all, bottom line is- she's right. Every kid needs a champion!

We also love this one... because we have great hope for the public school systems of the United States. Also, his accent is fabulous! ;)

Reply-All?

Can I get an "Amen?!" Teachers, you do NOT need to "Reply All" unless everyone (and I do mean everyone) on that list needs to know what you are typing.  And that's all. That. Is. all.

Who Has Time for Lunch?

Teacher lunch ideas- quick, cheap, healthy We can't possibly be the only teachers in America who laugh when people mention eating lunch during the week. Maybe it's more envy than laughter. Who knows. What I do know is that it's a joke among teachers that we can eat full meals while walking around the cafeteria opening Ketchup packets, telling kids to use their manners, and we don't even get sick when we see milk come out of someone's nose. Now, that's talent! We make wishes about eating with other adults or having a moment of peace during the day, but the honest truth there isn't anywhere we'd rather be.
