Blaze Bulletin
Edition 14 Week of December 4th
Greetings...
Dear Teachers,
I was just thinking about stick-with-it-ness. I'm not sure why I was thinking about this, except that it's a quality that makes a difference in lives. And it's a quality I'd like to pass on to our kids. I found these quotes, and I thought you might enjoy reflecting as I did:
"My greatest point is my persistence. I never give up in a match. However down I am, I fight until the last ball. My list of matches shows that I have turned a great many so-called irretrievable defeats into victories." -Bjorn Borg
"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." -Calvin Coolidge
"Energy and persistence conquer all things." -Benjamin Franklin
Have a great weekend, and stick with whatever you are doing!
Sincerely,
lj

The new free Class Notebook add-in for the OneNote desktop (2013 or 2016) is designed to help teachers save time and be even more efficient with their Class Notebooks. The add-in includes page and section distribution and quick review of student work. *Beginning OneNote training is a prerequisite for this session.
