TpT Sellers Challenge - Dare to Dream

This week we were all tasked to dream. Doesn't that sound so simple? Dream...... It's harder than you think. Often times our minds are so consumed with what needs to get done and what we haven't done yet that we don't actually take the time (or get the chance) to just dream. Now, I'm not talking about those dreams that come when you close your eyes and drift off to sleep. I've got plenty of those creative dreams. (movies, houses that turn into whales, helping ghosts escape....I could chat you up for days) I'm talking about those dreams for the future that you haven't told many, if any, others. Those dreams that you may be afraid to fully admit. Those dreams that you might not have even let yourself have. That was our challenge. So after some thoughtful reflection I came up with these 6.


teacher resources: I would love to be able to create meaningful activities that will benefit not just my kids but the kids in other teachers classrooms as well. Over the years I have gotten so many great ideas and resources from other teachers. I want to be able to give back and help other teachers as they have helped me.

#EdTech: I like to say that I am some what tech savvy but when it really comes down to it I am not truly using our schools tech to the best of my abilities. I want to push myself to truly go beyond tech as a center or as a some-time tool. I want my kids to be pushing their limits. I want the question in my class to be "What can't I do with technology?"

National Board: I am currently going through the process for National Board Certification. I have only done two components so far and already this process has helped me to reflect on my teaching. I truly want to have this certification, keep this certification, and help other teachers on their journey through this process.

SpEd: I started my journey to get my masters in SpEd last spring. Originally I wanted it for the information and for the bump on the pay scale. As I've gotten into more of the classes I've started opening myself to the possibility of leaving my "regular" classroom and heading to something a little more "special".

home owner: Rent. Rent. Rent. That's all I've done. All of the walls are the same rental property white which in fact is not white but an eggshell cream. I dream of the day when I have a place to truly call mine.

happy: Last, but certainly not least, I want to be happy. Don't we all? No worries about work or administration. No added stress besides our normal  issues. I want to be happy with what I'm doing, where I'm at, and who I am.

I challenge you to Dare to Dream. What are your dreams? While you're pondering, head on over to a couple other blogs and catch their dreams as well!
