To enter the giveaway, simply like Inspired Teacher on facebook if you haven’t already or share this post on your facebook page encouraging others to like us {we’ll be able to tell from fb who liked and who shared so you don’t have to leave a comment telling us about it if you don’t want}!  You can also get an entry by leaving us a comment sharing one of your favorite holiday activities you do in your classroom. We want to build a strong community of teachers who are passing around encouraging ideas, and we’d love your help in sharing our site and your ideas with other educators. {Those logged in to facebook should see the like box itself below.

the {Re}Launch

by Laura Parker on September 25, 2011

Welcome to the {re}Launching of InspiredTeacher.Net!  Thanks for stopping by this new collective blog which will be providing inspiration for our classrooms.

As the creator and editor of Inspired Teacher, I am so excited about the line-up of monthly contributors and guest posters we have coming your way in this corner of the web-world.  We have writers from many different locations, with various areas of teaching expertise, all with stellar writing experience {several have published books}. We’ll be posting an average of three times a week, including true stories from our own classrooms, discussion questions to engage you as an educator, and lots of creative {and super-easy} character lessons for you to implement with your students– be they kindergarteners, high schoolers, or even your own kids at home.

We’re so glad you’re here {and here’s a little message from a porch in Thailand to prove it} –

**********

To celebrate our launching, I’m giving away THREE super-fun handmade Thai rings. They are a mix of colorful beads and brown weaving and will fit about anybody {they are a bit stretchy}. You can enter the giveaway one or all of the following ways . . .

1. Easiest! Click LIKE on our facebook page on the sidebar. {worth one entry}

2. Follow us on TWITTER at the handle @inspiredtchrs . {worth one entry}

3.  Subscribe to our blog and have posts sent to your email inbox. {worth TWO entries}.

4. Leave us a comment introducing yourself– tell us your name, what grade and where you teach. {worth one entry}

If you have already followed us in the past, we will count you in for the giveaway already. 

We’d also so appreciate you sharing our site with your facebook friends, teachers at school, and twitter followers, too {pretty please, would ya?}.  Then come back here next TUESDAY, October 4th, and we’ll announce the lucky winners!

And, obviously, come back before then to read a letter a Special Ed teacher wrote to herself and to get an idea for teaching kindness that’ll have your students dumping water all over each other {figuratively speaking, of course}.
