Spread the Love: Teacher and Students

This week we asked our IntegratED family to take time to shout out other teachers who have brought and spread love to them, students, and others. We have received some amazing stories about other teachers this week and we would love to share some of them with you. 

Matt Carl: He is dedicated to helping all of our skills students. He also is a great boss with a huge heart. - Sam Fulton 

Stacey Dickson: She conquers anything and everything that is put in front of her! She has always believed in me and has never, ever given up on me! She is an inspiration to many and deserves so much! -Heidi Nannemann

Missy Zipperian: Miss is a giving, caring and selfless teacher who makes her students a priority! Missy meets her students where they are “at” academically and is so encouraging and empowering. Missy makes lasting relationships with students and families. She has taught students of all ages and abilities. 3-5 graders, GATE and now currently at the tech facilitator at TBHS - Amanda Bailey ​

Hallie Kaufmann: She is so patient and caring to her students even when she is giving them a consequence. She truly has their best interests at heart. - Tami Bondurant ​

What is love… a 2nd grader's perspective

This week our students wrote and published a book called Love is. We used a version of the template from A Cupcake for the Teacher

Love is Template

Love is Graphic Organizer

To start this lesson we used the read aloud book Love is…a children’s picture book about love. ​

Here is what some of them had to say...

Love is when you push your sister on the swing at the park!

Love is when you dad helps me on legos. 

Love is letting your friend go in front of you in line. 

Love is eating together at the dinner table. 

Love is when my dad and mom take me to a soccer tournament. 

Two teachers for teachers,
