#TeachersMatter - Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

Happy Teacher Week my fellow teachers of the world! I hope this week, more than ever, you feel appreciated. I certainly appreciate you. I have gained so much from the blogging community - my classroom is better for it! So, I, a fellow blogger, thank and admire you. Enjoy the week - you deserve it!

"So keep up the great work, seek help from those around you, and just know that the work of a teacher is of the greatest importance."

A Little Motivation

A little motivation for your Monday evening. 

I hope it lifted your spirits just like it did mine. 

Here's to Tuesday!

Start the Week Off Right

I love a great inspirational video. A few months ago I watched the following TED Talk and was enthralled. I guarantee that you, my teacher friends, will feel exactly the same way after watching. Enjoy!

What Do You Make?

Just when I was thinking I needed a little inspiration, I was reminded of a few videos I watched in college. If you're feeling a little bogged down.. Enjoy teacher friends. Enjoy!

(Thanks Teaching Blog Addict for the friendly reminder!)
