May's Most Popular Posts

Today is my last day of school!! YAY! However, it's a very bittersweet last day this year. 

I am leaving teaching after today to be a stay at home mom. I am VERY excited for this new journey as it's something I've wanted to be able to do for over 5 years now. 

I love teaching and education, thus leaving the classroom is going to be very weird come August when schools start back up. However, I will always be a teacher. I will continue to teach my own children daily as they learn new and exciting things in their own lives. I also tutor on the side so that will help keep my love for the profession alive! 

I plan to continue my blogging and PLN journey, and in fact, I will have even more time to devote to it all! 

I want to say thank you to the hundreds (if not thousands) of kids, teachers, staff, and friends I've encountered and worked with in my 8 years of teaching. I've taught elementary computers, 4th Grade, and 5th Grade and have enjoyed all of it immensely. 

Who knows where life will lead: maybe I'll return to the classroom one day. In the meantime, I plan to enjoy every moment that I can with my son and daughter. 

I hope everyone had a fantastic school year! Enjoy your summer!

Supplies & Donations Needed? There's a Site for That!

We have all most likely heard of or even used Donors Choose to help get much needed supplies for our classrooms and schools. But, did you know there are other sites out there that can also help you get things that you may lack the money for?  I personally have not tried out these other sites, but thought I would share them anyway. 

If you or someone you know have used anything other than Donors Choose to help stock up your classroom, then please leave feedback below? We'd all love to hear about the positives and negatives. 

Also, if you know of any other similar sites, feel free to share those as well! Thanks. 

• Adopt A Classroom
• National Teacher Registry
• Teacher Lists
• Teacher Wish Lists
