Some Days!
For Teacher Appreciation Week, I got an apple and this beautiful wind chime. My student was soooo excited to give it to me. He started talking about my surprise on Wednesday. This morning he made me close my eyes and hold out my hand, then he gently put the handle of the bag on on fingers. When I opened my eyes, he had this big grin on his face.
Some days make it all worth while!

Tumblr
Tumblr: "On Tuesday, Skype launched Skype in the Classroom, a dedicated teacher network.
Using the platform, teachers can create profiles that describe their classes and teaching interests. They can then search a directory of teachers from all over the world by student age range, language and subject, finding classrooms that match theirs. This will allow teachers to connect with other classrooms around the globe, bring in guest speakers without asking them to travel, and take virtual field trips. "

Breaks Over!
I have noticed a lot of complaining from teachers about going back to school tomorrow. I just want to say, put your big kids pants on and be glad that you have a job to go back to. I loved my two weeks off with the two extra days because of snow, but it’s time to do what we are paid to do. The kids need us, and for some of them, we represent a safe alternative to their lives.
So when my alarm goes off at 5:45 I will rise and greet the day with a sense of hope and gratitude.
