DRUMROLL PLEASE! The number one reason I LOVE teaching is...FREE BIRTHDAY CUPCAKES! Not really, but they help. I have done so much reading about the power of gratitude. Writing these blog posts for the last ten days have made me realize how grateful I am for my professional life, my calling. Whether it's having purposeful fun with students or dramatizing the latest and greatest read aloud I've discovered, I'm where I belong. My first week in a classroom, eons and eons ago, in a time far, far away, I told my mom that teaching wouldn't be "forever" for me. She didn't say much, just nodded. Twenty-four years later, I think mom knew best and just kept it to herself. With the political muck and drama in education right now, it's so easy to lose sight of our purpose. Thank you for helping me reaffirm mine!
