*I have been compensated by Box Tops For Education for this post; however, I am sharing my own thoughts. All opinions are my own. When I was growing up, I used to visit my aunt's classroom whenever I had a day off from school. She was a Special Education teacher for twenty years and she loved taking me to her school and having me spend time with her students. It was during that time that I decided that I wanted to grow up and become a teacher. I fell in love with everything about teaching from sharpened pencils to writing on the blackboard. I have now been a teacher for the past eighteen years and, while I still love teaching as much as I did when I was a kid, I have realized that many schools are in need of valuable resources that are not always readily available due to budget constraints. As a result, we teachers will often supplement those materials that aren't available from our own money. Unfortunately, it's not always possible to provide all of the supplies that my … [Read more...]

Send Cheer To Teachers With Cheerios! @Cheerios #Giveaway #ad
*This post was written by me on behalf of General Mills. I received a product sample to review. All opinions are 100% mine. Although being a teacher is very rewarding, it can sometimes be a thankless job. Every once in awhile, you touch someone's life and their admiration for you propels them to want to thank you in a special way. This is a culminating moment for the nearly 6.2 million teachers who are dedicated to educating the youth in this country. The Cheerios Send Cheer to Teachers program makes it simple for anyone to thank their favorite current or childhood teacher. Parents can demonstrate the gratitude that they have for their children's teachers by using specially-marked boxes of Cheerios cereal to cut special postcards to show how thankful they are.

Back To School With Kleenex And Box Tops For Education! #KleenexBTS #Ad

All parents and students understand the importance of preparing for the beginning of the school year and making sure that kids have all of the necessary materials and resources to help them begin their new grade successfully.
