• What is something that you do that you always thank yourself for come fall? What is something you always forget and kick yourself over? What’s on your list for the end of the year? Every year, I kick myself for not making an extra set or two of everything and keeping it together! I make extras but they are ALLL over. That new student comes and I know I have it all, but finding it....that becomes the problem!! Editable lists are in my shop. http://bit.ly/japglists #Teacher #iteachfirst #teacherproblems #teachersofinstagram #elementaryteacher #teachergram #teacherspayteachers #teachersfollowteachers #kinderchat #iteachtoo #iteachfirst #lifeofateacher #primaryteacher #firstgradeteacher #iteach1st

  • Do your children need checklists to match their writing units? Mine did! These checklists kept my students accountable, stuck to their writing, and was a visual reminder of what our conference was about. Once they completed my “note”, they check it off, and place it attached to their writing into my check bin. No more trying to remember what we talked about. No more looking through my notes to figure it out and re-conference. This pack comes in three different packs. My writing bundle, opinion writing unit, or as a stand alone. Check it out and see if it would work for your students! On sale until midnight pst. http://bit.ly/japgopc #Teacher #iteachfirst #teacherproblems #teachersofinstagram #elementaryteacher #teachergram #teacherspayteachers #teachersfollowteachers #kinderchat #iteachtoo #iteachfirst #lifeofateacher #primaryteacher #firstgradeteacher #iteach1st

  • More posts like this?🙋🏼‍♀️🙅🏼‍♀️ As I walk around my room each day, I always think - now THAT is something I should share. This chart was destroyed no less than a week after I made it with my class. Instead, I avoided it in videos and pictures like wet shoelaces. 😂 I want to continue to share these “real teacher life” photos. I DO love the pretty staged ones, but I want to also share the ones that people can relate to. The ones that don’t leave teachers feeling inadequate. Making other teachers feel badly is NOT why I’m here. Im here to share ideas and things I use in my classroom. I create because chances are something likely FAILED miserably, and I created a way to fix my problem. I want to be more transparent with you all. I’m STILL a mess 80% of the time. I will still share the pretty staged pictures, but I also think it’s important to show how ugly teaching can be too. Feel me? #Teacher #iteachfirst #teacherproblems #teachersofinstagram #elementaryteacher #teachergram #teacherspayteachers #teachersfollowteachers #kinderchat #iteachtoo #iteachfirst #lifeofateacher #primaryteacher #firstgradeteacher #iteach1st

  • Let me know below! Do you send home a monthly calendar? Behavior calendar? While I’m OFF the clip chart train 🚂, I DO still send home a calendar. I fill in anything kid specific that may be needed or any individual behavior issues right ON the calendar. Are you a pre-bts school year prepper or last minute prepper? I try my hardest to prep these BEFORE school let’s out. Especially if I’m lucky enough to have a volunteer. Use up those copies this year! The pack includes editable bw, color, 5 day, and 7 day templates. The year and numbers are all editable so you can access them forever. You can change the wording of the colors and are able to change the colors if you're familiar with how to fill color. I hope this allows you to prep without worry of getting an updated calendar each year.

  • Throw back to my favorite Christmas gift I've ever gotten. This was Christmas when Reid was 2.5 years old. He still wasn't talking. Not mama, hi- nothing. We had adjusted to life with him not ever talking. We were teaching him sign language. We never thought we'd hear him say I love you. We had accepted him as he was. As painful as it was. Little did we know he had other plans. This gift is still so special to me. It reminds me of how hard he has worked to communicate, share emotions, show compassion, and interact with others. He amazes me every day. He has overcome so many obstacles in his 8 short years. His heart is bigger than anyone I know. He’s sensitive and kind. He’s also a smart mouth and punk sometimes but the fact that I can argue with him makes my heart explode. To my special needs mamas, it does get better. I promise. The stares hurt. The long days and sleepless nights stink. Celebrate every milestone you didn’t think you’d see. The day Reid wore jeans for the first time, I cried like a baby. You can do it. They can do it. I just needed to let him show ME the way. 💜💙💜💙#reidpatrickhackergrowingup #sensoryprocessingdisorder #spectrum #encephalopathy #specialneedsmama #adhd #seizureawareness #mixedexpressivereceptivelanguagedisorder
