Awakened!

I recently read a great book called Awakened: Change Your Mindset to Transform Your Teaching by Angela Watson. She is the author of another great book: The Cornerstone. It has really helped me change the way I look at certain situations that arise in our teaching careers. I think it will change yours too. Click my button to check out my review!

I'm a Turkey Trivia


My class gobbled with delight when I read this story today.
The big hit was when I introduced the song the author sang for it too.
Waddle, trot, or fly on over to my blog and get some resources to be a turkey expert.

Attitude of Gratitude FREEBIE

In the spirit of November I have a favorite story to lead into my lessons on gratitude.
If you've never read Thanksgiving at the Tappleton's find a copy and give it a go.
Then grab my freebie gratitude poster. I also have gratitude journal prompts too for those interested.

A gobble of thanks for stopping by!
