Educational Inspiration #1

If you know me at all you know I'm a huge fan of Jim Fay and Love And Logic. The things I've learned from his trainings and books have guided my classroom management throughout my career. 

I cannot encourage you enough to stay in contact with students on social media. Instagram is my favorite because they can follow you without you having to follow them back. I get comments/likes from former students all the time that are still following my social media. I also try to visit/have lunch with/email former students as well. Whenever I go through TimeHop and see a former student, I try to email them to check in. Sometimes they don't respond, but sometimes you get a huge email back saying what they're up to! It lets you know the impact you had on them even outside of your classroom. What's more inspiring than knowing what a great job you did with kids? 

I am inspired by bringing PBL to life by creating a Chemistry/Art experience for my students! I envision a gallery exhibition where students showcase the art they created in Chemistry class for the community. Gallery dates to be announced soon!

There are so many fabulous teachers on youtube who share their knowledge. I watch every day and they inspire me to be better every single day! I have learned so many things through youtube. I strongly encourage teachers to follow some teacher youtubers!!!
