I love seeing how my classes differ from year to year. My kids last year were very meh about reading graffiti, but this year’s bunch are the opposite! Do you do reading graffiti in your classroom? It’s such an easy early finisher option and makes for a great little display corner. #teachersofinstagram #texasteachers #teachergram #iteachfifth #kidsarereading

Today was one of those days where I was just bursting with love for my kids and this job. This valentine might be my favorite, though #blessed #texasteachers #iteachtoo #teachersofinstagram #lovemyjob #iteachfifth

Live footage of my reaction when one of my students delivered the Girl Scout cookies that I forgot I ordered 😍 #teachersofinstagram #girlscoutcookies #teachergram #iteachtoo #bestjobever

Teaching non fiction can be kind of a snooze fest, but it doesn’t have to be! We’re diving into author’s viewpoint this week and will be examining different sides to the virtual education debate, thanks to a pro/con article from @newsela . It was really fascinating to hear the reasons that my students came up with (before reading the article) about whether online school is a good idea. I’m telling you, kids are more self aware than we give them credit for! How do you make teaching non fiction skills more exciting? #teachergram #teachersofinstagram #iteachtoo #iteachfifth #texasteachers

Today, for the first time in four years, I found out AHEAD OF TIME that I am getting a new student. (Usually they just show up at my door and I feel three steps behind for the rest of the day.) Some of my kids decided to make welcome cards after our math test and I am simultaneously beaming with pride and cracking up at their (*mostly* accurate) descriptions of our class. My contribution was a welcome stack of books from our classroom library because books make everything better! #teachergram #teachersofinstagram #iteachtoo #iteachfifth #bestjobever

Bringing you an unedited #teacherfeetupfriday in all of its hot mess glory. If your teacher area also looks like a small bomb has gone off, don’t fret! Enjoy this picture of my shoes, and of...a marker, pencil, and glue stick on the ground; rogue dollar bills from a scholastic order; a Halloween sour patch kids wrapper; a coffee mug that never has enough caffeine; and a whole bunch of other random stuff. This week was only four days long, but felt like an eternity. I’m looking forward to the weekend and doing some much-needed recharging! 😴 #teachergram #teachersofinstagram #iteachtoo #helloweekend #keepingitreal
