Inspiration Monday

I am linking up again with Fun in 1st Grade for her Linky party :] I am doing this from my school computer, since my laptop and the way it sits on my lap seems to hurt my hands after a while, so I have to find a way to fix it [or buy a desk!] How is everything doing? I hope your Monday is going smoothly! 
*PS- I am sorry this post web address name is "Motivational Monday", it is actually "Inspiration Monday" for Miss Dana's blog linky :] Sorry about that!

I am inspired by my blogging friends everyday... they are so amazing and there are SO many to name, so I am just posting about the first lady that popped into my head! The lovely Dana from 3rd Grade Gridiron.  She has helped me since Day 1 become a better seller and teacher.. she's just lovely! If you don't follow her, you are crazy [or cray cray as one of my students says!] because she has wonderful talent and activities [so many freebies too!]

I am inspired by quotes all over the internet as well... here are just a few!  Always remember that we need to teach our children differently than we did the last class... they are ALL different.  I cannot tell you how differeny my class is this year from last year... and I even looped up with some of my children!  What do you think about that concept, looping up? Just curious... We are role models who are seen every day in the "public eye." Even when we don't think they are, the children are watching and observing our behaviors.  I know you are all an inspiring role model and educator :]

Inspiration Monday

It isn't Monday anymore, but it will be coming around again soon.. I wanted to link up with one of my newest friend, Dana from Fun in 1st Grade :) We all know that Mondays are difficult.. especially when I come back from a break.  If our weeks would just start on Tuesday, I think i would have no problems ;) I am linking up an inspirational picture and quote that mean something to me:

This is a beautiful picture I found of a little boy saying a prayer.  I found it from this wonderful website about children all over the world saying prayers to God of what they want... one child from the Phillipines said, "I pray for a bicycle so that I won't need to walk under the hot sun whenever I go home from school." It is a website for sponsoring children who need more for their education and lives. It really touched me XO hopefully I can help others someday (financially).

One of my favorite quotes of all time, and definitely tells a lot about myself.  I am the opposite of a procrastinator and I always want to do better.  Do we all fail? Of course..and that is difficult for me to handle.  But when I feel like I need to give up or I am failing, then I think of the quote up above.  "She believed she could.... so she did."  For all the times people thought I couldn't, I did... a very difficult goal of mine is to lose weight and fix my health issues.. I believe I can...so I will :]

 

Thanks for reading, and please link up with Fun in 1st Grade! :]
