mind it should be cold today….not 60+ degrees!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The sun twinkled (that is about all we got today - a twinkle of
sunlight!!) through the clouds a time or two – at least it did in Upper East
Tennessee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was so warm that is was
difficult to gather my class together and go back inside to finish our lesson
on triangles.<o:p></o:p></span></b><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Bradley Hand ITC"; line-height: 115%;">Once
we finally made the trek back inside, my energy level was pretty low until we
reviewed what we had learned yesterday with triangles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At that point my energy level soared straight
though the roof – many of my wonderful students had remembered yesterday’s
lesson and their eyes twinkled with delight!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>YES!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Bradley Hand ITC"; line-height: 115%;">The
joy of watching a child put it all together in their heads and being able to
explain how they got the answer is so energizing for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How about you?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do you experience those energizing moments in
your classroom?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe it is as simple as
learning basic addition facts………..no matter what the subject………those twinkling
moments are so worth each day!! </span></b><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Tempus Sans ITC"; font-size: 14pt;">Where does my energy come from? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<a href="http://www.clipproject.info/Cliparts_Free/Buero_Free/Clipart-Cartoon-Design-22.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://www.clipproject.info/Cliparts_Free/Buero_Free/Clipart-Cartoon-Design-22.gif" width="200" /></a><br />
<span style="font-family: "Tempus Sans ITC"; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Tempus Sans ITC"; font-size: 14pt;">Caffeine gives me energy - I drink a large cup of coffee first thing each morning!! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If I don’t get my daily dose of caffeine each
day...watch out!! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The rest of my energy
comes from a wide variety of places.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Tempus Sans ITC"; font-size: 14pt;">Smiling
faces give me energy – each day as I walk down the hall to my classroom I
trust that young minds will be smiling as they enter my room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Tempus Sans ITC"; font-size: 14pt;">Laughter gives me energy – over the years I
have learned that laughter brings joy to my life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A good belly laugh is great for the
soul.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Tempus Sans ITC"; font-size: 14pt;">My family gives me energy - I
am married to a wonderful husband named Robert and we have a very energetic dog named
Tiamat. Just for the record - Robert and Tiamat are not morning people so I don’t
depend on getting energy from them until at least mid-day!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Tempus Sans ITC"; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Most of all sharing gives me energy - It energizes me to be able to share with other teachers some of the strategies that have worked for me over the years. Join me in the coming days, weeks, and months as I share some resources that have worked for me over the years.</span></span><br />
