  1. I think any teacher needs help being together, even those who seem together. How do we know their closets aren’t a total mess. I would love to get this new book and become The Together Teacher.

  2. I like the Bullying is Important – it’s an issue that is dealt with all year long every year, and I also liked the glue giveaway contest. If I am chosen to win this book it will be catalog end into the library for all the teachers to enjoy!

  3. I like #7’s tip in Part 1 on how to use your high energy time to do planning or big thinking plans and leave the lighter work for less energy times. I NEED to do this!

    I’m sure this book would have great ideas that not only I could use, but I could share them w/other fellow teachers, too!!!!

  4. I would simply love this book. I am always looking for someway to keep myself organized. I would especially like it for the templates, for they make life so much easier.

  5. Being more organized means a more efficient classroom and more efficient way to spend time preparing which then means organized teachers have a life on the weekends!! I would love to grow in this area and take my weekends back!!

  6. I think having bind labeled and offering students more ways to also keep organized belongings goes along way for both.

  7. I love anything where I can get free lesson plans ! AccuCut would be my fav. I can definitely use a book on being organized and a tablet would be SOOO helpful in the classroom.

  8. I am always told that I am organized, I do not feel that I am. On that note I would love to have more ways to be “together” when the year begins

  9. I this will be my seventh year of teaching elementary school. I think The Together Teacher book will supply me with fresh ideas, and get me back on track with my organizational skills, which seem to have vanished over the years! My school district is in a rural area with limited resources, and I really could use the tablet prize from the Purell Teach Happy sweepstakes.

  10. Every year I tell myself I’m going to be more organized – yet I never seem to get there!! The book on organization would be perfect!

  11. The Together Teacher book sounds like it’s just what I need. Then maybe I won’t end up spending so much time trying to get together everything in a rush!
