Well, maybe just the best ones...hehehe<br /><br />I also keep my notes, pictures, and letters in scrapbooks and clear sheet covers. I love the memories. I have 3 scrapbooks and 1 picture book full of memories. Every year, I also created a home-made calendar year book for the kids to keep for the next school year. I have also created and put together picture videos that I played for the Kinder graduation ceremony before they walked in...<br /><br />It seems like you also love your students!! I am not sure if I am following you, so I am going to go check right now (-;<br /><br /><br />Michelle<br /><a href="http://the3amteacher.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Visit My Blog</a><br /><a href="3amteacher@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">Email The 3AM Teacher</a><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/The3amTeacher" rel="nofollow">Visit My FB Page</a>Michelle Tsivgadellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09327578199614794262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3100178557585519905.post-65748278277955982962012-07-11T07:37:18.977-07:002012-07-11T07:37:18.977-07:00Thank you for such thoughtful advice for new teach...Thank you for such thoughtful advice for new teachers! I will be a first year 2nd grade teacher this year and am beyond excited to begin the new school year! I know that there is much more that comes with the territory of teaching than what meets the eye, but I am prepared. Fortunately, I am blessed with a wonderful husband (we're newlyweds of a month) who is so supportive and helpful when it comes to my love for teaching. Currently, our living room looks like a children's library and he has been lovingly painting my new rocking chair for the past three days after he gots home from work. <br /><br />I love your idea of having a board to put up love notes from students and their parents. I just finished my student teaching in May and made 2 pages in my brand new teacher scrapbook of pictures from my students and memories from my year. I also have a love notes binder where I put everything a student or parent has given me in page protectors so on not so good days I can look through and smile about all of the wonderful moments I have had in my very short time in the classroom. <br /><br />I look forward to reading more on your blog.. sometimes I think that we are all 3 AM teachers! My poor husband has been going to bed without me every night because I am planning, printing, laminating and crafting away!<br /><br />Thanks for such great advice!<br /><br />Ashley<br /><i><b><a href="www.secondgradeparadise.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">That's So Second Grade</a></b></i>The Writing Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00240877691362330249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3100178557585519905.post-21493793607535009092012-07-07T07:03:01.380-07:002012-07-07T07:03:01.380-07:00Just what I needed to hear!

And "never say never" is so true and it takes an inspiring and supportive teacher to make kids BELIEVE it.

In college, one of our professors told us to keep a "smile file" with all our favorite notes. Mine is starting to get pretty big. I don't have a plate yet, though.
