Hardwork pays off...my exceptional needs students are working very very hard and they will be rewarded...Twitter kept me waiting last night for the results of the ActivSoftware Inspire Edition Blogging Contest. I couldn't wait for this little birdie to bring the good news because I needed to go to bed early for work tomorrow, can't face the class with huge eyebags. I was not expecting to win anyways, I was just excited to see who's the lucky teacher to give her students an ActivClassroom.
When I woke up, went straight to check the Activblogs, I was frozen I couldn't believe my eyes...
Congratulations!

Mrs. Angala,
Oh, this is just fantastic, and I am so glad you went for it after we discussed the possibilities. Please know that this reflects true dedication, leadership, and a sincere desire to make a difference in the lives of your students and now, others that you have indirectly impacted through accomplishment. It is wonderful to know that educators around the world will get to know that a teacher from of all places, the Wash DC Public Schools in the Nations Capitol won this award. You have consistently worked to improve the learning opportunities for students in your care and you must now feel so very proud.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do not back away from the opportunity to lead when others contact you, (and they will) for leadership and insights to improve their own work. It has been truly a pleasure to work with you over the last few months and we look forward to continuing to the next level.
Today is your day, enjoy:
