Congrats on reaching 200. That didn't take long at all :) Blogging has helped me to be more creative. I have learned SOOOO much in the last couple months and it wouldn't have happened if it weren't for blogging (which I found via Pinterest). I feel I am becoming more and more equipped to help children love learning by reading all of the other inspirational blogs :)

Milestones are great! Congrats to you on yours! I don't have a blog, but I do follow lots and lots! Being able to hear about other people's lives at school, helps me realize that I am doing just as well as other teachers- I have the same problems, and the ways that I try to solve them are just like other teachers- glad to know I am not alone.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 200! Blogging has provided TONS of new ideas...and inspiration! I just started following blogs in the last few months, and my husband commented that this is the first summer he has watched me do "school stuff" in June...and I've been teaching over 20 years! It's not that I didn't work on/buy school stuff before, I just wasn't as passionate. Blogging has rekindled the fun!
