Today’s TEACHERble Moment

Today’s lesson is simple: Do one thing that makes you happy. Not tomorrow. Not when the schedule clears. Today.

As a teacher, I’m great at grading papers, meeting deadlines, and pouring into everyone else; however, sometimes I forget to give myself extra credit.

Consider this your gentle reminder written on the board in permanent marker: Your happiness matters.

Think of it as a mini pop quiz for the heart. No wrong answers. Maybe it’s taking yourself out, resuming your favorite hobby, laughing with someone who gets you, or finally making time to rest without feeling any guilt. Whatever it is, let it be intentional. Curiosity, creativity, and delight isn’t just for children.

Today’s Assignment

So here’s today’s assignment, no red pen involved: What will you do today to make yourself happy? Feel free to share your answers in the comments. I would love to learn from you!

Miss Gray

My name is Erykah Gray, but most people know me as Miss Gray. I hail from the charming town of Centreville in Southern Mississippi. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in English from The University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg and a Master of Arts in Literature from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. Today, I’m a proud doctoral student at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, because I believe that learning is a lifelong journey—and I’m passionate about being on that path. Teaching isn’t just what I do; it’s who I am. I love speaking, writing, and inspiring others to find their voice. Every day in my classroom, I strive to make learning exciting and meaningful while helping my students grow into confident, inspired thinkers ready to take on the world. Here, I plan to do the same.

I already did most of it… I attended my baby cousin’s basketball game and had a great time watching him, and the other little kiddos play. I will do some reading and a bit of writing later. I’ll also watch a couple of movies.

Happy Saturday!
