In my 20 years of teaching I've gathered a file full of
sweet parent, student, and co-worker notes.
Once or twice a year, on those REALLY tough days,
when I feel like nothing I'm doing is right, I pull out that file and read through it.
Reading those kinds words immediately makes me feel better.

The written word is powerful and in this day of
texting and emailing and IMing and chatting,

it is rare that we ever stop long enough to
actually write something down.

I made this quick little half sheet printable so that I could jot down notes
to some co-workers, students, and others in my life that I'm thankful for.

I'm going to print a bunch so that my students can fill a few out too-
to share with those they are thankful for.
I'm planning to leave one tomorrow in my classroom for our sweet custodian
along with a gift card because I truly am thankful for her!
