A TEACHER'S SURVIVAL KIT
FOR EVERYDAY LIVING.

TOOTHPICK-reminds us to look for the good qualities in our students. You may be the only teacher who says something positive to them that day.

RUBBER BAND-reminds the teacher that they have to be flexible. Things don't always go the way we plan, But flexibility will help to work it out.

BAND AID-reminds the teacher that sometimes we do more than teach, That we help heal hurt feelings, broken dreams, And lend an ear to a problem.

PENCIL-reminds us to be thankful and we should list our blessings daily, But also encourage our students to list their blessings And to be proud of their accomplishments.

ERASER-reminds us to allow students to know we are human And make mistakes just like they do, and it's ok. We must all be able to learn from our mistakes.

CHEWING GUM-reminds us to stick with it And encourage our students to do like wise. Even the impossible task or assignment can be accomplished By sticking to it.

MINT-reminds us and our students we are worth a mint. (We may not be paid a mint, but are worth one.)

CANDY KISS-reminds us that everyone needs a hug, Kiss, or warm fuzzy everyday. (All teachers, students, parents, and even administrators)

TEA BAG-reminds us we need time to relax, Go over our blessing, and take time for others. Family, husbands, wives, friends, children need quality time together.


You are all SWEET TARTS for everything you teach our children. You deserve 100 GRAND every PAYDAY. We know sometimes our kids act like AIRHEADS and NERDS or like they're from somewhere beyond the MILKY WAY. (Us parents, too!) You bring such ALMOND JOY when you teach about the WHATCHAMACALLIT and ignore their WHOPPERS. It must be hard to contain your SNICKERS when those little SUGAR BABIES tell you MOUNDS of stories. Sometimes it must seem that all you do is SKOR papers. Most days you probably want to make like BABY RUTH and just run home.

Thanks, teachers! You are the RIESEN our kids are SMARTIES instead of DUM DUMS. You are LIFESAVERS.
