Here's last week's quote. I caught the flu or whatever illness which struck 100 kids at my school and really struggled to make it through the week 🤧 Woohoo we're almost at the halfway mark now at Week 5 🤗

On our very first date (About 12 years ago) Dj took me this little restaurant 🖤 tomorrow is our seventh wedding anniversary and tonight we went back to the restaurant where it all started!
Many of you know me, but I wanted to share a couple things about my educational background for those who don't! - - -
• I am proud to have taught middle school special education for 10 years. More specifically, I ran an alternative program for young adults with social emotional needs. This is where I developed my passion for SEL, social skills, and executive functioning skills.
• I also taught summer school for many years, which was a blast! We had really fun units like "around the world". • I am certified in both elementary and special education. I started out wanting to teach 4th grade (where I did my student teaching) but fell in LOVE with special education right out of college.• For the past couple of years, I have been working full-time as a curriculum specialist creating educational resources for social emotional learning. It is truly a dream! I love hearing from educators all around the world that they are using resources to help their learners.. resources that were once just thoughts in my brain. It's amazing and I'm so grateful for all the support!. . .
I would love to hear about your teaching life! Let me know what you teach and how long you've been doing it!
I donut need to buy all the cute things for my classroom. Repeat 5 times to self. 🍩
📚The Bad Seed VS. The Good Egg📖
Even in an upper elementary classroom, I love to use picture books to reinforce important messages. These two books compliment each other so well - and are so fun to read. We explored both of these texts this year as an extension of our health curriculum, and they are still popular books in our class library ❤️ The Bad Seed is a great way to teach students that your past actions and reputation don’t define who you are. It shows that behaviour is a choice, and we have the power to change our actions, and become the best versions of ourselves. ➡️ The Good Egg is a text that encourages students to see that they can only be responsible for themselves - and that self-care is important! It teaches student about how mental and physical health are closely aligned, and that is okay to not be perfect all the time✨
ENVISION IT... THEN DO IT ✊🏼 There’s that beautiful place in the world that exists far beyond your zone of comfort. Sometimes things are hard, sometimes things are difficult and sometimes we find life challenging or chaotic... isn’t that a wonderful thing How lucky are we to subconsciously take teeny tiny steps over that metaphorical line of comfort, until we’re in a space where things around us start to change My best and only advice at this fearful stage of the process is to reflect. Establish where you were, what you have overcome and where you’re at. ☝🏼 REMEMBER: this is such an uncomfortable and unpredictable process... but super rewarding.
HAPPY SUNDAY TEAM! In light of a recent tag by @teachingsnapshot here’s a recent photo of myself I really like because I’m wearing my new ‘I have a Bachelor of Arts’ glasses 😂👓 something I really love about myself as a teacher is how well I do the well-being side of things. I was once asked at an interview how I think my students would describe me. I said ‘caring, passionate and enthusiastic’. When I got back to work after the interview I asked the students the question and sure enough, they said those three words exactly. Asking someone how they are costs you $0, it makes both people feel happy & above all, you have no idea how much it could mean to someone to just simply ask them how they are. I encourage you to spend some time this week asking your students about their well-being 💫 I’d really love to see how @twentysomethingartteacher & @mrs.mulders.classroom take on this challenge! 🤩
the ‘how’ to the previous post!
.
This is a class of 5 year olds-most not 6 yet, and I’ve done this kind of thing before with my own prep/foundation/kindergarten classes so I knew these munchkins could do it! .
• 1. As a class, we talked about what kind of writing we were going to do, they’d never done it before-I explained we were writing a poem and poems, whether they rhyme or not, often try to use the best words to create a picture in our minds etc.
• 2. They had read this book before so we already knew the story which is ideal because then they were able to concentrate on picking out the words we loved!
• 3. As we read, we stopped at the end of each page to hear the words that stood out to them (which @teacherkitty happened to be the ones with alliterations), we found beautiful words, rhyming words, words that gave them the best pictures in their minds etc.
• 4. This was the list we came up with (there were more but we ran out of room & they agreed we had plenty 😆), and we gave it a title and last line (both written in black), but then they chose 3 or 4 of these to create their own poem, different to everyone else’s!
.
🐙 Some just wrote about the Pearl, others just the octopus, or all the creatures in general.
And they were all different & they loved themselves so much, they wanted to take them home!
.
💛 Yes, they copied because handwriting wasn’t the focus & they’ve only been at school since February!
💛 I changed colours so it was easier for them to see/identify the ones they wanted to use.
💛 We put these in their ‘seed’ books where they collect words to use in other writing later, rather than draft books simply because we were finding ‘best words’ in the story.
.
🌈 You can do this with stories like The Rainbow Fish, where there’s visually descriptive words, just make sure you’ve already read it so they’re not distracted by the story!
I absolutely adore you and our 17 year friendship. Congratulations 💍 .
.
Love and happiness looks beautiful on you !
.
I can’t wait to be standing by your side as your Maid of Honour on your special day ❤️
@mrsg71313 use my burlap pencil letters to create a heading for her focus wall. I really like how she uses clothespins to display her posters.
Repost from my personal account because I wanted to share my news there first and decided to wait until the last day of school to do so! I’m switching schools next year (yes again haha-but this time I’m not leaving the district)! This is why I’ve been very vague about what exactly I’ve been packing up and why my classroom post from yesterday was so empty. I’ll still be in third grade, and I’ll be opening a new campus as team lead! I’m so sad to be leaving my current school, but I’m so excited for this new journey! Do you have any tips for being a team leader or favorite pieces of advice Drop them below!

Cue the tears. 😭 Oh my word, y’all, what an incredible year! This has been one of the best years of my life. I’m walking out of it a better teacher, better friend, better leader, and better person than I walked into it. Coming to Propser and Spradley has changed me forever. It’s all thanks to this building and the people inside it. I will always treasure the memories made here. That’s why this announcement is so bittersweet. Next year I’ll be transferring to another new school to open the campus as the third grade team lead! Being a team leader is something my heart has craved since day one, and I’m thrilled (and still in a little disbelief) that this dream is coming true. It’s amazing how God is leading us towards our goals even when we can’t see it, isn’t it I’m so excited for this next step-for the new kids, teammates, and adventures that await me this next year. I don’t know what it’ll hold. I don’t know how I’ll feel in 365 days. I don’t know where I’ll be. But if it’s anything like this one, it’s sure to be great. For now, I’m off to enjoy sweet summertime before I continue on this little journey into year five. ❤️ #fifthclassroommoveinfiveyears #sorrymom
NEW PRODUCT!!!🥳
Someone suggested that I make a daily schedule product and I love how it turned out!
Check out my story to see what this product includes!😄 https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Daily-Schedule-Cards-4590751
The last days of school. I have so much to do, but the most important things are maximizing the last moments I have with students. Friday after school I stayed until 7pm to try and get some of the busy work out of the way so I can enjoy the students and our time together during the last 4 days. Leaving school I couldn’t help but capture the sky in this beauty and where this journey has taken me.
I have taught 26 classes this year. On average I’ve interacted with 600+ students per week. My goal was to learn every name. I may not have last names down, but I do know first names. I know One student is a hurricane guru at only 8 years old. I know a family is a mixed family and named their dog a combination of all kids first initials. I know another student who is moving over the summer because of a parents divorce and is sad. One of the boys I’ve taught has made it known to me that art is his least favorite came to me after field day and told me I am a really great dancer. I have a student that struggled each art class to complete work- during our last meeting on Friday the student produced the most incredible piece in completion.
A student who has repeatedly been disrespectful in class but one I always reach out and smile to wrote me a note saying they will miss me and hope I will sub for them in junior high. I could go on and on. These moments. These kids. Teaching is more than a job. It’s truly a way of life. It’s my only wish to encourage young people to know they matter and know it is their uniqueness that makes them special. I wish I could create a position... each school district needs a Director of Positivity. I’ve loved connecting with kids and love seeing them succeed. I fear for those who do not have an encourager at home or in their lives. Elementary School is a pivotal time... but junior high... it’s also key. Kids need music, art, safe places to fail and places to feel encouragement- not just places to learn.
