My name is Laura and I...</title><content type='html'>Hi there, Rachel Lynette, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My name is Laura and I run the new collective blog called InspiredTeacher.net. We are working to give encouragement and inspiration to teachers.  I stumbled on your teaching blog today and loved all your practical ideas!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just wanted to connect with you via webworld and let you know about a new thing we are doing our way called Teaching Tip Tuesday where people can link up a past post they&amp;#39;ve written giving a practical teaching tip!  This post would work great!(Really all of your posts would!)  We are giving away some sweet stuff over there for it, and would love to have you involved if you have a sec!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks, Rachel Lynette, and I look forward to connecting with you again!  The link is: http://www.inspiredteacher.net/2012/01/teaching-tips-tuesdays/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our plan is to run it every Tuesday, if you&amp;#39;d like to jump in!  Have a great day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Laura Parker</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1604081156424883698/1167072498124936064/comments/default/4689781294593339251'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1604081156424883698/1167072498124936064/comments/default/4689781294593339251'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.minds-in-bloom.com/2012/01/20-back-from-winter-break-writing.html?showComment=1326116160973#c4689781294593339251' title=''/><author><name>Laura@InspiredTeacher</name><uri>http://www.inspiredteacher.net</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.minds-in-bloom.com/2012/01/20-back-from-winter-break-writing.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1604081156424883698.post-1167072498124936064' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1604081156424883698/posts/default/1167072498124936064' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1058965518'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1604081156424883698.post-9001987979451628072</id><published>2012-01-01T20:46:06.842-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-01T20:46:06.842-08:00</updated><title type='text'>You are both very welcome...and I love that you fo...</title><content type='html'>You are both very welcome...and I love that you found me on Pinterest!
