Love this list! I try to do all of these things everyday! 30 second dance parties are my favorite! One wish I had is that my desks were shorter, I am tall and when I wear heeled shoes, I have to dodge the ceiling! 🙂
I am so short so I never have that problem 😉 Thanks for joining me!
Great ideas!!!
Thanks so much, friend!
Loved your post! I am known as the "crazy teacher" at our school because I also do fun, random things in class. I love having the kids always wondering what I will do next! I love that there are others out there who want the kids to enjoy coming to school. Let's admit it, sometimes we are the only people who will listen when they talk.that is why I love for my kiddos to share with me. I learn so many things about them as they share their stories! Thanks for a great post, keep on rockin!
I love that you have that reputation! It is the best reputation to have! Keep it up!!!
