Dear Teacher,

You are awesome because even though you are empty, you keep on pouring.  Pour away, Teacher.  Pour away!  You students need it!  Summer is almost here!  You can make it!

You are awesome.  You are believed in.  Keep on teaching, Teacher!

Love, Teacher

New Day/New Week

Dear Teacher,

Was this your week last week?  I know at my school, behavior seems to decline shortly before summer and teacher stress increases in response.  Tomorrow is a new day.  Monday lets last week go away and you get to start all over again.  That goes for you…and for your students.

Remind yourself of this tomorrow morning.  You have a fresh start.  Remind your students, too.  They have a blank slate week.  Inspire them to do more with this week than they did last week.

Be hopeful.  Make the students wonder what happened to you over the weekend!  Make hope your goal tomorrow.  Inspire your students to greatness.

You are awesome!  I know this week will be better than last week for you.  Go out there and make that true!  Keep teaching, Teacher!

Love, Teacher
