Do you have a beautiful and organized looking classroom? 

Are all your lessons plans prepped and ready for the rest of the week/month/year?  Does everything in your classroom match perfectly?  Do you have a cute teacher planner?

What if I told you that being an effective teacher didn't depend on your classroom's color scheme or decor?

Don't get me wrong.  I LOVE a pretty classroom, but today I'd like to share with you 7 habits that I truly believe are the foundation to being an effective and successful teacher - and guess what?  None of which can be accomplished using items from the Target dollar bin (gasp!)
