Being #thrifty is about more than saving money. It's managing ALL your resources, including time and energy, in order to grow. In fact, it can be used to describe healthy plants!

That's why you'll see me tweeting about a lot more than just 💰!

When you want a green screen but don't have the wall space... I got an old projector screen, spray painted it green, and voila! Can't wait to use it with @DoInkTweets ! #svusdshines

We cannot let a kid choose to fail. We must keep on them, keep working with parents, try everything, and never give up on them.

P.S. They will one day appreciate it, even if they never thank you.

After observing a kindergarten class, I came to two certainties:

1. All elementary school teachers should be sainted.

2. If you ever want an honest opinion on how you look— just ask a 5-year-old. They are still too young to know they should lie.

My #DonorsChoose project will help my students to collaborate in my class! Please consider sharing my project! @tjholmes @toryjohnson @THETonyMorrison @craignewmark @AdvanceTeaching @BudgetTeacher https://t.co/JtoYutN3Nl #ITeachMath #GivingMyAllGMA #STEMEducation #NCEducation

Good Deed for the Week:

On average teachers spend $750 a year on school supplies/projects for students.

1. Go on @DonorsChoose
2. Type in your zip code
3. Find a teacher nearby who is fundraising for a project and make $5 donation

You will make a big difference.

How's this for a teacher discount...

@republicwirelss started an Educator Appreciation Program in which you can get **50% OFF** your monthly phone bill. I now pay **$10/month** for unlimited talk/text & 1gb data (+tax). #teachers #teacherlife #thrifty

Follow-up to my earlier wish that @Bitmoji had more positive back-to-school options: They now do!! I've been AWOL from Twitter the past couple weeks, so I don't know exactly when, but several new options have been added!

#teacherlife #backtoschool #thanksBitmoji

[The Thrifty Teacher @BudgetTeacher]

Hey @Bitmoji - can we get some positive bitmojis for #backtoschool? Not liking my current school-related options. Sure, lots of students (and teachers) complain about school. But, I think there are even more that love school and will be happy to get back!

#teacherlife

[The Thrifty Teacher @BudgetTeacher]

Well, I definitely fell off my tweet game with school starting back. Trying to get back to it now that I'm working out a decent balance! Happy Labor Day all!

Dear Teachers, Aides, Administrators, Secretaries, Librarians, Nurses, Cafeteria Workers, Custodians and Bus Drivers,

It takes an entire school to educate a child, so thank you and I hope you have an amazing school year.

Hello. Newbie to Twitter here. Looking to connect with some great Middle School Computer Science teachers. @mradamwelcome @burgessdave @alicekeeler @arackersscience

Created a few more interactive student displays this weekend. I have stickers I am going to put out next to the poster so Ss can vote. I figured I would switch out the posters every week or so. I am loving creating these opportunities for #fun #student #engagement! #KidsDeserveIt
