Thank You . . . and a Dedication

I’d like to dedicate this blog to my family and friends who have believed in me and supported me on every step of my journey as an educator, a business owner, and now a writer! I am truly grateful for your words of encouragement, inspiration, and affirmation! Few people in this world are as fortunate as I am to be surrounded every day with love and support, and I thank you!

 

I’d also like to dedicate this blog to the many teachers who care so deeply about their students and work so diligently to set them up for success, now and in the future. As rewarding and fulfilling as it is, teaching is truly one of the most difficult, challenging, and misunderstood jobs a person can have. Absolutely no one can understand all you do and all you deal with unless they have been a classroom teacher themselves. I applaud you, I appreciate you, I honor you, and I dedicate this blog to you. May the ideas, tips, and strategies you find here brighten your day, encourage your heart, and save you a bit of extra time to spend nurturing yourself and your relationships with your own family and friends! Thank you for the countless ways you make our world a better place every day by being a teacher!

I'd also like to thank Teachers Pay Teachers (TpT) for providing me with a top-notch open marketplace where I can make  my Middle School English Language Arts and Classroom Management resources available to other teachers! I'm over-the-moon grateful for the many opportunities being a TpT Seller has brought into my life . . . blogging being one!

So, without further ado . . . here we go!
