One for You, One for a Friend: TpT Gift Certificate Giveaway! {closed}

Encourage each other daily, while it is still today! quote I love to give gifts and encourage others.  Often times I think I’m more excited than the gift receiver for them to open a gift I’ve given them.  It just does something for my soul to see others encouraged and loved.

As educators it’s easy to become discouraged or overwhelmed with the day-to-day tasks, and sometimes all we need is a friendly gesture or word that says “You can do this!”

Sooooooo… this month I’m giving away 2 TpT Gift Certificates to any TpT Store!  WAHOOOO!   There is one certificate for you to enjoy and one certificate for a friend or co-worker that needs a “pick-me-up”.

TpT Giveaway Gift Certificates.001

There is only one entry that is required…and the rest are optional.  I wanted to make it as easy as possible.  So, the required entry is that you comment below with either your favorite inspirational quote OR your idea on how to turn a bad day around.  Once you’ve done that go ahead and check it off on the rafflecopter (required).  Check back here on Thursday, April 24. to see if you’ve won!

Day 7: To Have a Good Co-Worker, You Must be One.

Day 7: To Have a Good Co-worker, You Must be One!

Webster’s definition of a co-worker is “a fellow worker”.  The related words that are listed are “equal, fellow, peer…collaborator…companion, comrade”.

Do these words come to mind when you think about the staff members you work with?  Do you view them as a peer or comrade, or do you duck your head when you go to school and try to avoid as many people as possible?

Day 6: Work Together as a Team.

Work Together as a Team

In the Beginner’s class at church a few weeks ago, the memory verse song was “Work Together as a Team” which we sang to the tune of “Jesus Loves Me” (You pretty much just repeat “work together as a team” over and over again to the tune…try it and see if it’s not stuck in your head for days…you’re welcome!).

Sometimes those simple songs that were written for our youngest children are the most profound and needed for us as adults! Continue reading →

Day 4: Where Does my Worth Come From?

What Other People Think

Sorry for the two-day hiatus.  Between family day, special music, and a stomach bug, I’ve been out of commission…but I’m back now, hopefully for the long haul.

One of the biggest turning points in changing my mind to think more positively of education, and something I still have to fight today, is knowing where I get my self-worth is from.  I think this is one of the greatest factors when it comes to positive or negative self-talk.
