30 Amazing Teachers ~ Jennifer

I was so honored to be asked to be part of my friend Cassandra’s 30 Amazing Teachers.  I’m Jennifer, the blogger behind The Blessed Teacher and I truly live a BLESSED life!


I’m Blessed by Friendships


Cassandra and I connected through Instagram and finally met for lunch one day about a year and a half ago.

Had lunch today with the lovely @mrs3rdgrade ! Love our little IG/Blogging community. #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram

I have been beyond blessed by our friendship.  Our friendship has grown to include some other amazing Arizona bloggers that are part of my bloggy bestie tribe!

These ladies inspire me. They make me laugh, share great ideas and support and encourage! @mrs3rdgrade @thekindergarden @thecreativeclassroom I'm so thankful for this journey and that I get to share it with amazing people like you! #azontherise #smallfish #mytribe #didiforgetanyhashtags

I am incredibly blessed to call Ashlyn from The Creative Classroom, Caitlin from The Kinder Garden and Maribel from Learning in Wonderland my friends.  I have learned so much from them.  They have taught me new things, challenged me, and come to my rescue on all things techie!

So blessed by the friendships I've made through #teacherspayteachers. I had the best coffee meeting with @learninginwonderland and @mrs3rdgrade They offer so much advice and encouragement!

I’m Blessed by My Co-Workers

I love the ladies I work with.  They keep me sane on crazy days, make me laugh when I feel like I might lose it, and help when I’m sick and can’t get anything done!





I also feel incredibly blessed to teach where I do.  It’s the school right in my neighborhood.  I was a stay at home mom when my girls were babies and when my youngest entered kindergarten in our neighborhood school I was blessed to be hired as a third grade teacher.  That was 11 years ago and I was able to be there with my girls for their 8 years at our school. 

Here is a picture of my home away from home.




Between my family life, teacher life, and blogging/TpT life I have been blessed beyond measure.

And now I would love to bless you with a FREEBIE for Thanksgiving to help you and your class count your blessings.



Thanks for letting me share Mrs. 3rd Grade!
