  • This was my old classroom at my first school. I do miss tables SO much!!! I have desks right now, but would give anything to go back to tables. So that has me wondering. Are you a table teacher or a desk teacher?! Share below!

  • TEACHER TIP THURSDAY Somedays, like today, my desk is a MESS when I end the day. Today, it was full of assessments, papers I just got done copying before specials were over, notes, and more. When it was time to head out I just wanted to go home, but I had to follow my own rule. Never leave school till you clear your desk off. If you follow this tip I promise you will feel so much better each day. I leave right when the day is up and do not stay late, but I always clean off my desk. My mornings go so much smoother because of it. Anyone else have the messy desk at the end of the day?!

  • The bat cave challenge is for sure one of my favorites each year! The students enter the cave and find out their teacher is a bat and her wing is broken. They have to earn their own wings in order to fit hers. They complete 4 reading and writing challenges that are rigorous and engaging! This leads them to earn some wings and head back to enjoy the bat cave! It is EASY engagement and full of rigor. There is a paper or digital version! Today I even added a differentiated version that can be used for struggling students to feel successful or used for lower elementary (grades 1-2)! Check it out with the link in @friendlyteacher . . . . . . . https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Reading-Skill-Bat-Cave-Challenge-3434221?aref=jr5jw4b7&utm_source=insta&utm_campaign=bat%20cave

  • I find crafts so very valuable in the classroom, upper elementary included. I make sure to fit in at least one type of craft a week. That might be a directed drawing, a directed craft, or a free craft! Anything to get the kids working through art and being creative. I also love to pair this with a piece of literature and some writing! :) How do you make sure that you put art into your curriculum? These cute pumpkins were done by @teachloveandicedcoffee and they are perfect!
