Today’s #teachertraveltuesday takes me back 6 summers ago when we took our lil’ man on a trip to Canada! 🇨🇦

Apparently, we were more amused and impressed by Niagara Falls than him. 🤣

The best way to a teacher’s heart is with coffee and easy gift ideas. ☕️ 🛍 At least for me, that is. 🤣

Nothing makes my heart happier than an organized classroom. ♥️

Having an organized and tidy space where everything that I need has its own space, frees me up to do the important things like teaching and meeting in small groups with my firsties. 🍎📚

I also love how the kids know where to get supplies when they need them- no questions asked.

Plus, it also gives them pride, comfort, and ownership in up-keeping our learning space together.
🥰

If you need ways to organize your classroom, I have bundled these products together for extra savings.

When Cupid’s arrows glow in the dark, who wouldn’t want to shoot them, right?! 💘 🥰

I love how hot gluing these heart confetti to little glow sticks made these little Valentine presents even more fun and festive!!! 🥰

We’re about to kickstart our next Writing and Re

We’re about to kickstart our next Writing and Reading unit on American inventors. We usually start out with male inventors, then Asian-American, Hispanic, and women inventors too!!!! 🤩🥳🥰✏️📚

When planning, I try to be very intentional by including a list of diverse inventors. I want my students to learn, be inspired, but most importantly feel represented.

After learning about both female and male American inventors, I then provide them with another list of diverse inventors that are not as well known. From this list, they choose one to do their Hole-in-Poster project.

It’s one of my favorite projects and always makes my heart so happy! Swipe to see more and check out my lil’ man’s project when he was in first grade!

Next week will be our 21st week of school and 18th

Next week will be our 21st week of school and 18th week of in-person school.

Our first three weeks were virtual and then it’s been in-person since.

Due to our numbers, one teacher was able to stay remote while the rest of the team went in-person.

I had so many feelings as I welcomed the kids back to school, but I knew in my heart that teaching in-person was my JAM and for those kids who were going back, they needed me and our little space so so much. ♥️

While I came back in-person, my own kids were blessed enough to stay home with daddy. The truth is, they had good days learning remotely, they also had some really hard days and poor daddy tried his best while working from home. 😭👨🏻‍💻

So after much deliberation and praying, our kids are now back in-person with face masks during school hours and have been doing so so well.

We are so grateful that they are being loved on and cared for by their amazing teachers, who are also my sweet friends, and getting to know more friends in their class!

Plus, they are thrilled to hang out in my classroom before and after school again. 🤣🤩 #teacherskids

Are you still virtual or are you back in-person? 🍎
