Teachers work extremely hard at their job.  They have a low salary, tough students, and few breaks.  A way everybody can make a teacher's job easier is to go back and thank them for the time and love they put into you.  Everybody has had a teacher or teachers who have impacted their lives. So what are you waiting for?  Take a few minutes to thank your teachers whether you have them now or fifty years ago. 

The article I found is in a link at the bottom and really states why teachers deserved to be thanked and thought of every minute of the day!  Thank A Teacher - Please!

A Great Tip

This morning I read a great post by Alejandro.  He has an amazing vocabulary as a fifthe grader.  He posted some tips for writing, and my favorite one was not exaggerating anything. He said:

•Don’t exaggerate the truth. If you are writing a report don’t include things that you don’t know are true. However, if you look it up and get information you can add it to your post. Then the facts will be authentic.  - Alejandro

This is important because exaggerating is the same as lying to me, and unless it is fiction, lying is extremely wrong.
