Greeting
Because what we do MATTERS!

But First, a Chuckle!

Helpful Stuff  

I recently discovered that my wild dream of printing on Post-it sticky notes can actually happen! 

Picture
Check out this video tutorial and use this free TPT template to get started! I had a ton printed in about 30 minutes, saving me much more time in the long run by not having to handwrite them all!

Or you go print your own custom Post-it 50-sheet pads for about $4-$5 (they offer lower prices per unit if you buy more than 1) on Vistaprint.

Recommendations

What teacher has everything they need?

I know as both a teacher and a parent that supplies and other necessities often come out of our own pockets.

I also know that there are parents out there that are eager to help in any way they can because they see how much hard work and time you dedicate to their children!

Aaaaaaand with Christmas (and other holidays) just around the corner it would be fantastic to have a list ready to go!

Check out this amazing article on how to create a teacher wish list on Amazon!

Pro tip: your list’s shipping address may be visible to the buyers (especially if you allow purchasing from Amazon’s third-party sellers) so I recommend using your school address to receive gifts from your list! :)

Check out our Amazon Gift List for ideas and inspiration!

A Little Inspiration
Picture
I recently discovered the website enddd.org (which stands for End Distracted Driving) and I came across a shocking statistic: even though most parents say they want to keep their children safe and would do anything to do so, 70%-80% of their children reported that their parents drive while distracted, inherently putting their children’s safety at risk.

This was a shocking to me as it was disheartening.

But we can always do better and information is key!

That's why I've included this image all over my classroom, in this email, and I have shared it with students to pass along.

I have also sent it to friends & family regardless if they have children or not because they share the road with children.
​
As always, please forward this to any teacher that could benefit from this message and help spread the love!

The goal of these messages is to help ourselves improve—for our students, for our loved ones, and for ourselves.
