As per my last email (don't you hate it when you receive a message that begins that way) — or, shall say, post — I've learned some new tips. First — there is beauty in small details. But my iPhone finds it challenging to capture the subtle beauty, so you'll have to contend with the bigger picture. I read a quote today that I like — about achievement — "Before the gates of excellence, the high gods have placed sweat.” I'm attempting to complete a monumental task this week, and I feel overwhelmed. I want to expand the teaching resources I created under my @stonesoferasmus brand — I have to go and proofread my inventory of 137 digital downloads I've created. I like the “making part” of the process — using design skills and creating incredible resources that middle and high school students can use. It's just very time-consuming. So to inspire me, I take long walks — hence the photos you see — and eat healthy — and stretch. Also — I got a bigger monitor for my computer. OMG. Having a large screen to work on makes a huge difference when creating digital stuff. OMG. My goal is to have 200 products reviewed and created by the end of Summer. And on top of that I'm taking a class on Special Education and Differentiation at Hunter College. The course is good — it solidifies some things I already knew about teaching and has already given me good ideas to move forward. Next year I'm teaching a section of Eighth Grade English, a World Religions class, a New York City history class — paired with Tenth and Eleventh graders in a combined section. Whew. I better get to planning. But. Oh. I see a bird in a tree. Ohh. Let me check this out. *Loses thirty minutes*. By the way, @kfs0520, is the last picture in this post an excellent example of Nantucket Red? Inquiring minds want to know. . . . . . #blog #bloggerqueen #bloggertips #blogpost #blogtips #brighteyedblogger ##eclectichomeschool #freelance #iteachtoo #playislearningplayisenough #middleschool #highschool #quickeasyplay #sidehustle #tpt #speechies #teachergram #teachersconnect #teachersfollowteachers #teachersinsummer #teacherslife #blogger #wherelearningmeetsplay #workfromhome #teachersonsummerbreak🙌 (at Jackson Heights) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRKLYA9lo06/?utm_medium=tumblr
