Encouraging Words From A Teacher Just For You!
Just bought on TPT and using it for my high school senior ELL class! Thank you!!
My favorite line is "I have measured out my life with coffee spoons"
You're so positive and encouaging. Thank you for the time and energy you bring to all of these videos!
