Motivational Poem About People

What kind of people are you?


People come in all kinds, each with their unique way of interacting with the world. Some people lift you up, making you feel unstoppable, while others seem intent on bringing you down. There are those who always remember to say thank you, showing appreciation in every small thing, while others focus only on faults. Some people admire your dedication, recognizing the hard work you put in, while others are too self-centered to notice. The long hours required to achieve something meaningful are understood by some, whereas others never take a moment to reflect on such efforts. Learning from defeat is a hallmark of resilient individuals, while others are solely focused on winning at all costs.


Joyful words from some can brighten your day, contrasting with those who deliver hurtful comments. A heart of gold shines in some people, unlike those who glare with envy. Faithfulness is a virtue held dearly by some, remaining loyal and steadfast, while others struggle with trust. Encouragement from some people cheers you on, yet others prefer to criticize behind your back. Recognizing the effort behind success is a mark of insight, missing in those who remain oblivious.


Celebrating hard work is common among those who value effort, but some people are quick to condemn. Love and passion are deeply appreciated by some, while others fail to grasp these emotions. The ability to be motivated by defeat contrasts sharply with those who sulk in their losses. Support for your labor is given by some, while others belittle your efforts. Deep thinkers ponder long and hard, while the impulsive react without much thought.


Gratitude is a constant trait for some, making them appreciative, unlike those who are never satisfied. Good friendships are nurtured by some, while others struggle to keep them. Optimism radiates from some people, spreading positivity, while others dwell in negativity. Spiritual fulfillment is a journey for some, leaving others always wondering what's missing. So, ask yourself, which 'people' are you?

Decorating Valentine Bags

Valentine Bag Idea

Today I had fun decorating a Valentine bag with my four year old son. It was actually an assigned activity for his preschool class.  Things like this become huge projects with a preschooler! In addition to the bag, we put together some Valentine cards with heart shaped ring suckers. I made him write his own name on all of the 15 cards, which he didn't like.  I got a lot of the, "My hand is soooo tired!"   LOL.... I even let him do 4-5 at a time with a pretty long break,  but I still got a few complaints.  He did have fun decorating the bag though.  We used  a white gift bag and painted it with colored glitter paint.  He then added some sparkly glitter dragons to the front and back.  I cut out some felt heart stickers that he also added to the front and back, and then he put all kinds of other Valentine themed stickers on the sides.  He added his name to the top.  Yeah, I know the 'h' is lower case, but oh well.... there wasn't a capital one in the pack. :-)

Fun Book Report Idea for Valentines


If you are looking for a Valentine bag idea for upper elementary, I made this fun bag activity, and it can be found in my TpT store.  It lets students share a little about themselves, and it also has a book report sheet the kids fill out and glue to the back.  They get to share about a book they LOVE.  After they bring it to school and present to the class, they get to fill it with all of the Valentine cards their friends brought them.  Even big kids love Valentine's Day activities.  It's one of my favorite days of the school year. :-)
