Character Traits List & Vocabulary Support

As we have entered the month of August, every teacher, whether she likes it or not, starts thinking about school.  Some of us have dreams (or nightmares).  Some of us go on a Pinterest spree.  We walk through Target and ask ourselves "What do I 'need' from the dollar section?"

You don't do this?  Okay, maybe it's just me.  Anyway, we are also thinking about what were some of our students' challenges last year, and how we will address them this year.  My third and fourth graders had difficulty with vocabulary and making inferences, which was evident in how they would describe their characters:

Nice

Mean

Sad

Oh my.

More teacher appreciating!

So, today I read my e-newsletter from Teachers.net, and it had this lovely, lovely quote.  I just had to make it pretty and share it with all of you:


Hope you are much appreciated today!!

Thank you for choosing to be a teacher.  It takes a really strong love of learners, a sense of sacrifice and commitment to enter this challenging profession.

Thank you for those long hours, for your incredible patience, your humor, your kindness,  your determination, your academic excellence, your perseverance. 

Thank you for inspiring me to be a better teacher.
