My first graders are doing SO well with these two word sentences. Available with and without tracing letters. Easy enough to read (and use first letter sound and picture clue) plus who doesn’t love first grader’s drawings? They practice so much with these. Also - My goodness-My OWN kid draws so well. Much better than I do. #kiddrawing #elementaryteacher #teacherkid #firstgradeteacher #iteachfirst #workonwriting http://bit.ly/japg2words
I saw these jeans in TJ Maxx yesterday. So cute. They were an 8. I grabbed them thinking yea right. I’ve always been honest with you guys about my weight and struggle. 6 months ago, my size 14’s we’re starting to feel snug. 😳 Holy holy guys! The 8 fit! Not like suck it in fit -like so many pairs. Like slid on, and when they buttoned, I teared up. The last six months hasn’t been easy. I know numbers don’t define me, but I haven’t seen this size since 2007. IN MY 20’s. Know what else has changed? My portion sizes have also changed. I only eat to be full. I actually stop. Who dat girl? I only eat two pieces of pizza instead of 6. I try to still eat what I want. I bought Chinese Friday night. I also had it for dinner last night and will finish it today instead of stuffing myself sick in one night. Sauce on the side. 😳 I get tons of questions about food and exercise. I don’t work out anymore. Two jobs, mom and tpt. Ya heard? I eat the same foods OVER AND OVER. Once I know what works I keep it. *💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜It’s all saved in my highlights under accountability. do I still have muffin top? Sure, when I’m trying to self sabotage and put on things that are too small. I had a kid, so I still have a pouch and thighs I hate that rub together. I’m learning about moderation. I’m learning about grace. I haven’t lost much the last few weeks. Report cards, conferences, birthdays and Reese cups for Halloween. But yesterday, YESTERDAY- I fit in an 8! It felt amazing. 💜 I’m here to tell you to take care of yourself. I was starting to feel back pain and leg pain again. Risking a third spinal surgery. I kept putting myself last. Letting other people’s children come before my own child, family and mental health. It had to stop. 🛑 Take one hour a day, one week, one day- hell 1 day a month and just BE. Do what YOU need. You’re not alone. Anxiety sucks. It makes you feel trapped, helpless, crazy and ALONE. You aren’t. Someone needs you more than you can imagine. Happy Sunday, friends. 💜💙#anxiety #teacheranxiety #teacherproblems #teachersofinstagram Outfit details in my stories today with swipe up) or follow my style and self care account @justaprimarygirlstyle

This is my reality. I can’t even close the file bin. No wonder I struggle to find things. 😂😂 No one has it all together. Don’t let anyone make you feel less. #hasntbeenfiled #hasntbeengraded #hasbeeninthiscornersinceaugust #teacherproblems #teacherlife #elementaryteacher #iteachfirst
