Lessons learned in completing 9 years of teaching...

There is absolutely no better job for me on the planet!
On the tough days, love them 1st!
Make friends with those you work with! Many times you're going to need someone to lean on in the moment!
Don't forget to breathe!
Laugh along with them...kids are really funny!
(Even when they're not always trying to be)
Sing!
I want to be remembered for teaching kids to believe in themselves!
Always start a drawing my saying "Don't laugh at my picture..I'm still learning to draw!"
There's almost no better feeling than hearing a child yell with surprise, "I did it!"
Teaching kids that learning is fun is more important than teaching them isolated skills!
Being nominated for Teacher of the Year means absolutely nothing! (except it feels nice!)
Write thank you notes...to everyone you helps you!
Keep every thank you note that has meaning!
Remember your mantra:
~Breathe in the moment!
~Act the way you want to feel!
~Smile when you're upset!
~Pick up where you left off!
Keep in touch with former co-workers!
They know where you started!
Don't be afraid to tell a child they are loved!
Teaching a child to read opens worlds of doors for them!
Talk to parents as you'd want to hear about your child!
Keep learning new things as a teacher!
Here's to many more decades of doing what I love...
