Calling all blog followers...this is for you!

If you are blog follower of mine, or a faithful stalker 'looker'... this post is for you!
 
I originally started blogging months ago for my personal self-satisfaction. 
I wanted to keep an online journal for my own, personal record.
 I wanted a place that I could refer to see how I am continuously growing as a teacher.
I needed a place to keep all of my 'funny stories' and cute quotes by the kids.
I wanted to make a digital scrapbook of the lessons I teach, topics we discuss and awesome artwork that my kiddos do!
 
But along the way, I've realized that blogging has become more to me than just all of that.
Blogging has become a crazy, wonderful and exhilarating world for me!
 
I've met so many awesome teachers that share the passion that I have---that need to want to help every child possible and touch every life that they can.  I've realized that there will always will be naysayers and people that have negative comments, but when I look at my fellow bloggers and comments from my followers, I know that we are all in this together. We love our kids, no matter what their back-story is and we'll try whatever we have to, to help them succeed!!!
 
So here, I say to you, THANK YOU!
Thank you for all of your supports as a blog follower or stalker!
Thank you for always giving me feedback on posts that I write---as bloggers, we love comments and I ALWAYS try my best to respond back! It feels good to know that people are reading
 what you are writing and sometimes, they are
 even getting an idea from it or taking away something tangible (like a freebie). 
 
I encourage you to become a true 'follower' if you aren't already! I love checking my numbers and seeing that more and more people are choosing to follow me and keep up with my life as a teacher!
I also encourage you to become a commenter, if you aren't already too! No mater if it's a simple "Hi" or a "how the heck did you really do that" comment, I love hearing from you!
You encourage me as a teacher, to follow my dreams, follow
through with my ideas and remember to never give up!
 
Feel free to leave a comment below or become a follower today! :)
