Like you know, I'm new to this blogging world and I'm so happy to see that there are teachers like you making a difference. Your 17 little ones are very lucky to have such a caring teacher that will not only teach them how to read and write, but will also teach them how to be loving and caring human beings. Thanks Heather for your awesome motivation (and for being my newest follower.) Can't wait to read more :) <br /><br />-tania <br /><a href="www.livelovelaughin2ndgrade.com" rel="nofollow">Live, Love, Laugh in 2nd Grade</a>Ms. H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06087220646448933185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526200770247679932.post-2353503388488666682012-03-08T20:22:08.743-08:002012-03-08T20:22:08.743-08:00Heather!!!

I know you have truly impacted me! Hang in there. Having visitors in your classroom is always somewhat stressful, especially with the young ones but remember, it is your room and you know those children and you know what they need! Our big push this year is engagement of 100% of our children at all times. No one seems to take into account they have hungry tummies, they shared a bed with 4 brothers, and they don't speak English. WE know and WE love them! They love you for all you do Heather!!!!! <br /><br />I have left you an award on my blog.

You have no idea how giddy and excited I was when I saw that I had my first comment! :) I can tell by reading your blog that you are an amazing teacher, but more importantly I can see that you are a compassionate and caring person with a very strong faith.

I will be a frequent visitor from now on!<br /><br />Even as a literacy coach I sometimes get a visit from the RtI police. Trust me, the last thing I want to do is have a couple suits observing as I try and teach 27 little bodies in the busiest room in a school-the teaching lounge! Let's just say my reviews are never great and always mention the interruptions of staff filling their coffee cups.<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing the poem. I printed out a copy and put it on the back of my "very important book" to serve as a reminder to focus on the important things and not the curriculum/district program police.<br /><br /><3Miss Lhttp://glitterandgoofygrapes.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526200770247679932.post-45361606124611475702012-03-05T19:04:31.948-08:002012-03-05T19:04:31.948-08:00I just awarded you my Top 10 Blog award! :) Head o...I just awarded you my Top 10 Blog award! :) Head over to my blog to pick up your award. :) Thanks for being so wonderful!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.secondgradesugarandspice.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Second Grade Sugar and Spice</a>Miss DeCarbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076590891881907306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526200770247679932.post-63466605410597939672012-03-05T18:13:42.134-08:002012-03-05T18:13:42.134-08:00Don't ever forget, no matter who comes in your...Don't ever forget, no matter who comes in your room, that you are an amazing teacher and your kiddos are lucky to have you!<br /><br />If it makes you feel better, I had a group of 20 principals do a walk through today...

I was reading your words and thinking, wait does Heather work in MY district? Recently I went through a similar experience, and though I was a leader in my school I felt that I was being pulled in SO many different directions. I felt frustrated, micro-managed and had the creativity stripped from me. and I was a veteran teacher! I wish that sometimes I could just teach and not to worry about all the administrative non-sense. I think that I need secretary sometimes! Enough kidding aside, I think that we just need to shut our doors and do what we KNOW is right for our kids. I can tell by your amazing blog that you are an amazing educator. Keep your head held high and keep your gaze on the prize, teaching our students! Thank you for the poem, I've printed and put it by my desk and I know now that I am not alone. I promise to persevere, if you do?!
