Today we made superhero capes. We walked around until the music would stop and then would find a friend to write positive words about. At the end we got to take our superhero capes off and see all the things that truly made us SUPER ❤️ #firstgradeblvd #iteachtoo #iteachfirst #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram #classroomorganization #happyclassrooms #classroomdecor #teachertribe #instadaily
One of my favorite hobbies is finding new coffee shops to visit. Not just because I have a love for all cafe miels but also because I love everything about how coffee shops slow down life, provide intentionality in relationships and a sense of a cozy hustle. This time over the weekend to slow down, sip some brew, and spend time with my hubby was SO needed. It is so important for us to take time to make those things happen in our busy teacher lives and I want you to remember you are WORTH taking the time for YOU! Make sure you hop on over to my story today to ask me anything in a little virtual coffee hour with me!
After seeing @naturally.elementary and many others rebind their Reading Strategies books, I decided to do mine too and I am SO glad I did! It’s so much easier to use and with the divider tabs I added (inspired by @hipsterartteacher ) I can quickly refer back to certain goals anytime I need to. I got mine rebound at @staples for less than $10 but @naturally.elementary has a tutorial on her YouTube channel if you’re interested in doing it yourself! #lifechanging #teacherhacks
Even if you don’t write it on their desks, I challenge you to come up with one positive, unique and authentic word that describes each of your students. Doing this has helped me to see them in a new light and to truly appreciate what they specifically bring to our classroom community. Kind of like in a job interview, “weaknesses” can be strengths if we see them in a new light. Bossy kids can become leaders, kiddos who seem like tattlers may just be full of compassion, and talkative friends are friendly and welcoming. I love showing my students what I see in them ♥️ and all of the different personalities and traits we have in our class. Especially as we get into testing season, every student could use the reminder that they are SO much more than a score.
We read a latte in room 113. ☕️ *Thank you to Michael at the Hsv Target Starbucks for donating supplies.* This was so much fun. Like @fivefootoneteacher says, if we want kids to remember a concept- we have to give them something they’ll never forget. Thank you @lipsticklittles for the most appropriate *basic* sweatshirt. A huge inspiration of this was due to @princess_leia_teaches_2nd who did an amazing Starbooks with her 4th graders!!!! Thanks to her think of all the kids who will now go to Starbooks!!! ☕️❤️ YOU rock! •

Urban, suburban, rural, it’s true

For all you 2nd and 3rd grade teachers our there, here’s a simple song I wrote a few years ago set to “Honey, I’m Good” by @andygrammer to help students remember the difference between urban, suburban, and rural communities Silly dancing highly encouraged

☘️ Leprechaun Jell-o ☘️ if you’re still in school & haven’t made it to your spring break yet, these treats will surely brighten up your week! ⠀
⠀
We touched on the three states of matter when we made our St. patty’s treats and discussed temperature again as a review from our weather unit last month. ⠀
⠀
I made sure to start the treats pretty early in the morning so the mixture had plenty of time to set! After the Jell-O is ready, all you have to do is take a knife to make two slits in the Jell-O to place the rainbow in. Add some whip cream for the clouds ☁️ and you’re ready to enjoy!⠀
⠀
All you need:⠀
Clear cups⠀
5 Packs of Green Jell-o ⠀
Airheads Xtremes Rainbow⠀
Whipped Cream ⠀
