Burnt Out and Need Some Inspiration to Keep on Teaching? Plus a Bonus: Digital Paper Freebie

Have you ever fallen asleep early in the evening or afternoon after a hard day of work and then wake up in the middle of the night totally refreshed.  I hate when this happens.  Well, this happened to me the other night and I couldn't go back to sleep for hours.  So what did I do?  Nothing productive!  While laying in bed I got out my phone and watched videos on youtube.  I probably spent an hour watching nonsense videos, but then I did come across a gem that really inspired me...it even made me tear up.  Have you seen this video?  If not, you've gotta check it out.

Mr. Wright is a high school science teacher that not only hooks his students into learning, but integrates life lessons to inspire students to become better people.  The way the students described their teacher was inspiring and I hope that I can do the same with my kiddos.  My desire is that my students know that I genuinely care about them.  Sometimes I feel like I push them too hard academically that I forget about building their character.  Yes, even kindergarten teachers get a lot of pressure from administration so that the kids can pass tests once they reach the 3rd grade, yet we get no extra support or aides because our grade level isn't mandatory (at least in my state).  Sorry, I had to throw in this little rant, haha!  Anyway, please watch the video below.






On another note...For the past few weeks I've been dabbling in photoshop and created some fun polka dot and striped digital papers.  I have an 8 digital paper sampler for you to grab up for free.
