Our 💯Day is this week. AND it falls on a minimu

Our 💯Day is this week. AND it falls on a minimum day. AND I have an IEP scheduled for basically the whole day-so I won't be with my kiddos. AND I really like these kind of things to be easy-peasy. So I decided I need to change things and simplify my life.⁣

I just sent these FREEBIES to my email followers.⁣

It's so simple. So important. 𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗔𝗧

It's so simple. So important. 𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗣𝗦 first.⁣
⁣
Before we went on break the usual 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘸𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥???? questions began. "Can we send you texts from our Mom's phones?" I LOVE that we have created such a strong connection and bond in these past few months.⁣
⁣
This is such an amazing gift of our job. It is definitely a HUGE part of why I must stay in the classroom. We are so fortunate to be able to help guide and nurture the future. We are equally fortunate when they trust and love us back. ⁣
⁣
Teaching is hard, exhausting and frustrating. But those kiddos can really bring us back to the reason we put up with all the not so great parts like politics before student needs, poor governing decision-making and lacking parental support. ⁣
⁣
It all comes back to shared laughter, silliness, connections, understanding, patience and love.⁣
⁣
Stay focused on the rainbows while skipping through those gray clouds! 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁.

I love the way our monthly focus changes and keeps
