Motivational Monday {Linky}

Before I get to Motivational Monday, I wanted to thank everyone who participated in my giveaway.  We had a great turnout!  Now for the winner...

Andrea, check your email, you have a lot of decisions to make!!

Now, I know everyone needs a little uplifting on this first day back after Thanksgiving break!

I have some student-related motivation for today.  These are not mine, but I can't get the Pinterest buttons to work on my blog for some strange reason.

I think I might hang this first one up in my classroom:

What motivates you?

Happy Monday!

I know many of you are on break this Monday...and I'm very jealous of you!  We do have a short week this week, but sometimes those are just harder.  We can't stick to our schedule and everyone is kinda just off.

My motivation is in the form of lyrics this week.  I love listening to music and always pay really close attention to the lyrics.  My newest favorite song is Hall of Fame by The Script featuring will.i.am.

Listen and let me know what you think!

Another way to improve your Monday is to enter to win my HUGE giveaway!  Click on the picture to check it out!

Motivational Monday {Linky}!

It's Monday again (boo)!  But that means it's time for our weekly installment of Motivational Monday (yay)!

Hopefully this will get you up and moving!  The Learning Tree, Classroom Cupcake and I are sponsoring a Motivational Monday Linky party.

My motivation is brought to you by the city of Atlanta, Georgia this week.  I spent the weekend there (beautiful place - more pics to follow!)  and there was inspiration all around!

Theses first two are from Stone Mountain Park:

This last one is my favorite.  I found it at the Georgia Aquarium:

It says: 

History is written by those who make the wake.  Not by those who ride on it or watch safely from the shore.

Motivational Monday Linky

Two weeks ago, I shared a Motivational Monday post with you.  I had so many comments encouraging me to make it a weekly post or a linky party.  Well, it turns out that Kimberly, from The Learning Tree, does one too!  She contacted me and now we are hosting the linky party together, along with Classroom Cupcakes!

Don't we all need a little extra push to get going on a Monday?

This one from Steve Jobs is one of my all time favorite quotes.  I even have it on my Facebook page.

Many teachers (myself included) love their job and it is amazing to see their passion for their craft emerge, even when there are so many obstacles standing in their way.

And this is one that I've really had to keep in mind these past few weeks.

Is Motivational Monday a thing?  If not, I'm starting it!  

Saw these on Twitter today and I think they are so important to remember, especially as teachers.  They just spoke to me today.

Hope you find them inspiring too.
