Howdy ya’ll! I am super excited to be linking up with Lucky Little Learners and Schroeders Shenanigans In 2nd for their awesome new linky party 2togetherwearebetter!
People, teaching is hard. And it can be very isolating. That’s why we have to stick together and build each other up and share ideas. We are better together!! We need each other. We need to share ideas…we need to pick each other’s brains….and we need to support and care for one another!!! We’re all in this together with one goal: to give our students the very best education possible and be the best darn teacher we can be!!!
(The more glitter you use…the better….just sayin…hehe)
I am excited that this first edition of the 2getherwearebetter linky is schedules. I get asked about my day all of the time. So, I figured I would record a little video to walk you through our day!
