Teacher Appreciation!!

Although I Love teaching and working with children, today I really feel that I am appreciated.   Over the past coupled week, I have been feeling overwhelmed by the heavy loads of required paper work (observation, screenings, check points, lesson plans, Teaching Strategies Gold, and etc). But today I left work feeling a sense of pride and appreciation for Who I am and What I do at work.  I usually have the pleasure of this feeling when my children development and transition to the next level. As I was feeling drained and overwhelmed today after the children where resting, my supervisor came in and requested we have a meeting.  During the meeting she informed me that I was nominated for a teacher's award and will recieve the 2011 Chicago Coalition award.  She also stated that I should invite my family to the ceremony and dinner that will take place on Tuesday November 15, 2011 at the Ramada Inn.  I am so proud of myself for my personal and professional accomplishments.  Now I will have something more to look forward to as I continue to teach and make a difference in the lives of children and their families.  I'm looking forward to recieving the reward and continuing to teach and further my educational.

  2. Tasha. You should feel so proud of yourself. Sometimes, we think that people are not appreciating the job that we do. With this award i bet many doors will be opening for you.
