Today, I’m wrapping up the ten year blogiversary celebration by featuring some resources that might be new to you.

  1. I have been reading your blog for the last couple of years. I’m retired (after 45 years teaching), but I’m still working part time. I have shared your blog with many teaching colleagues that are still in the classroom, and I have also used some of your TpT materials in the private tutoring I do. I love the way you write; your insights and observations are authentic and accurate. Happy ten year anniversary to you and keep up the good work. Also, the next time you go to Iceland, we all want to go with you!

  2. I have just started reading “Awakened”. I have been teaching for 30 years and am looking for inspiration to re-awaken my passion. I’ve just read the Introduction and I’m sure this is going to help me. I’ll keep you posted!
