Tips and Tricks

Teacher Week 13: Tips and Tricks
This tip is super easy!  Keep a journal. of cards, e-mails, and notes that encourage you.  I save them and tape them into a book.  Then when a day....or a year feels awful, I reread them for a pick me up.  I also keep track of how many kids I have from year to year and who my teaching partners were.  Some years, I write more about day to day things, or more reflective type entries, but that usually depends on how demanding the year has been.





I don't save them all, just the ones that make my heart happy!
Happy Saturday,

  1. Such a neat idea! Now I'm wishing I had printed or saved more of the notes and emails I have received.

  2. This is something I have always been meaning to do and never really got around to doing it. It may be just the inspiration I need this year. Love the "brain wrinkles" one-I know that's a phrase you use a lot-I love when they throw those kinds of things back at you! :)

  3. I am going to start this ASAP! Thank you for sharing this idea. I hope that the year fills your book more than the need to read it!
