The Weekend before the First Day of School

In a few days, I'll be back at work.  My classroom is just about ready to welcome 20 new-to-me students and I am really looking forward to my 16th year of teaching.  Say what?  Yes, this will be my 16th year of working as an elementary school teacher and I am so thankful that I get to teach Grade 2 again because #grade2rocks.

Here's my favourite new quote from Alan November, a former teacher-turned-author and lecturer:

His words are like music to my ears.  I love it when you read an article and it really makes sense to you.  Please share your thoughts in the comments below if something stands out for you after reading it too.  

Happy Labour Day Weekend everyone.  Enjoy these last gorgeous summer days!
