• I see so many posts about self care. Lack of self care mostly. Teachers working themselves into the ground. Teachers working with fevers, flu, pain, and why? You’re afraid to take off? You’re afraid your students will have a bad day? What about YOUR bad day? You can’t take care of everyone else while you deteriorate. Certainly give 100% at SCHOOL to your students. You can’t give 100% to everybody but yourself. Leave the grading at school today. Say NO to something. You don’t get a raise for volunteering for everything. You still get the same lousy paycheck. You don’t get raises for not taking sick time. You know what does happen? Burn out. Injury. Sickness. Anxiety. Divorce. Suicide. Depression. I’ve been seeing so many self care posts - do you see them and just like them? Or are you actually providing yourself with self care? 💜❤️🧡💛💚💙If so-HOW?! Share in the comments how you keep school at school, how and what you’ve said no to. Remember, sadly, you are replaceable. School will go on with or without you. Take care of yourself as if your life depended on it. If this ruffled your feathers- GOOD. You probably need self care the most!!!! We lose way too many good teachers. #selfcare #teacherselfcare #teachertips #teachersofinstagram #elementaryteacher #teachersofinstagram #teacherlife #teacherproblems #teachertired #teacherburnout Check out these teachers for self care realness and ideas on how to separate and deal with the stress of teaching.

  • Have * You * Read * These? I’m sitting on my couch having coffee ☕️(snow day) and thought I’d share two books I read last week, and two I’ll read this week! We read The Snowy Day (duh) and The Big Snow! It was so appropriate because the Big Snow is all about David waiting for a big storm and “helping” his mom around the house. Of course he is just making a mess. His excitement is precious. We compare and contrast all of our fiction (realistic-ish) books! We love making connections with these as well! When Winter Comes is a fantastic rhyming book about what happens when winter comes. Mice, fish, and leaves etc. my kids love pointing out hibernation, adaptation and migration. (This book is half off hardcover today) we also have connections to our poetry and the book The Little Tree. The first day of winter is based on “12 days of Christmas” I read this and have my kids sequence it and we discuss adjectives. (I let them shout “SNAP” really loudly. They giggle every time. I’ll be sharing other books on sale today in my stories. Use my affiliate link (click link in profile, then this picture) so I can continue buying and finding great books for you to share with your class!! https://www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-521184a1?listId=UOAOLY9S65J8&ref=idea_share_inf #elementaryteacher #teachertips #teachersofinstagram #justaprimarygirlbooks #justaprimarygirlreads #readloudbooks #winterreadalouds #firstyearteacher

  • Do your kids love drawing during recess? I started keeping these target $3 bound sketch pads in my indoor recess bin. My kids can grab them and draw a picture but it stays inside. If they want to take a picture home, they use the paper in our recycling bin that was a copy mistake. It keeps them from wasting paper AND keeps all their drawings in a fun place that everyone can look through. Wish I could show you her face. Goodness she’s adorable. #elementaryteacher #teacherlife #teachertips #insiderecess #iteachfirst #teachersofinstagram

  • Anyone else use these?! Well, I’m THAT teacher!! I that needed @tile in order to keep track of my most important teaching stuff. Funny, since putting them on, I haven’t lost anything. 😂🤣 I know that won’t last and when I do lose it, I’m glad to know I can easily find everything. What would you put a tile on?

  • Got to host another baby shower yesterday. This was a dual shower. Two of my teammates are having babies exactly one month apart. I loved opening my home up to celebrate these new, young families. Love you @sojesensky 💜💙 My team pulled off a fantastic afternoon. 💙💜❤️ 👶🏼 🚿@Erin_maas20 @mamayumm
