I have always been a person who has been able to relate my feelings, emotions, experiences, etc. through writing and quotations. It is something I find to be therapeutic. I enjoy finding quotes that I can relate to or relate to my own life. It is a simple pleasure. I think many people forget the importance of your words and how drastically they can effect someone's life in a positive or a negative way. Below I have listed a variety of quotes that I enjoy for many reasons. Some of them are quotes I have posted in my classroom or use often in my classroom; others are quotes that I relate to or enjoy reading and sharing. This is something I may share often on this blog as it is something I enjoy doing. I hope you enjoy and find some common interests here, as well!

**This is a quote on a poster in my classroom. I use a sports/teamwork theme with my fourth graders to encourage team work, being supportive, and being understanding, as well as working together. By this age students tend to get too competitive and I love this quote! It's written on a poster of a baseball field with a young boy in a uniform. It is perfect!**

Dear Ashley,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your help in making my Walden-experience a memorable one. My learning at Walden was more fun and enjoyable because I have a classmate like you. I still remember what you wrote on my blog in week 7 “We need to work together to follow this ideal exactly to promote positive relationships and problem solving skills for the children, as we are very important role models in their lives” . I totally agree and believe that the same idea is applicable to many situations in one’s life. I will cherish your thought in my everyday life as an early childhood professional.
I wish you the best and I hope that you have continued success in the future.
Best regards,
Ruby
