That is MORE than ok. Not only is October one of the hardest months of the year, but this is one of the hardest school years out there.If you’re making it one day at a time or counting down each day until you’re next break… that is OK! I’m always here if you need an ear. ❤️Are you surviving or thriving right now?Image credit @thedenniscrew ••••#elementaryteacher #teaching #classroom #teachingideas #classroomideas #education #handsonlearning #teachertribe #teacher #teachers#teacherlife #teacherproblems #firstgrade #firstgradeteacher #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram #teachersofig #iteach #iteachfirst #iteachtoo #igconnect4edu #tftpickme #teacherspayteachers #weareteachers #teachergram #teacherstress #teachertired #teacherstruggles #teacherquotes #teacherssupportteachers ...
