After teaching three days with COVID and the flu, two days of resting has felt so lazy 😂 I’ve decided I’m not a great patient. I started sourdough cinnamon rolls last night and baked them this morning, and I can actually smell them!

Woke up from a COVID/flu meds nap to Ozzie draped across my chest 😂 #cats

Made it through the day because it was easier to go in than make sub plans so early in the year. Crashing on the couch, but wanted to say thank you to Andrea for the chargers! These will be perfect for our new devices, especially since we don’t get any extras!

@prisonculture.bsky.social will you share my classroom list?

My new class of 5th graders is amazing! They’re already working hard & earning lots of points in our school’s behavior incentive program!

These fabulous kids deserve some fun rewards for their hard work!

Thank you, Desiree, for the headphones for my students! I only had 7 out of 22 that brought usable headphones, so these will help a lot! #clearthelist #thankyou

Index Card Castles is my favorite back to school activity! They have to complete different challenges, and they have to do it silently! It’s a magical few moments while all the groups are so focused and building 😊

Day 1 ✔️

Had groups sort cards with place values and put them in order. This sent one kid over the edge because I said there are place values smaller than the ones place. Apparently decimals are a lie and I’m a trickster, which is what was shouted as the kid bolted from my room 😂😂😂

This will be my 15th year teaching 5th grade. I’ve had 3 different classrooms- 1st one for 9 years, 2nd one for 2 years, and this will be year 4 in my current one. #edusky #teachersofbluesky #teachers

Palestine had a booth at the Ethnic Enrichment Festival for the first time, so they also got to participate in the traditional clothing fashion show. The audience erupted into applause and cheers when they were on stage. It was a beautiful moment!

I asked parents to write their student a little note for the first day of school and they are absolutely the sweetest!!! This is a tradition I’ll continue every year! Former teachers wrote for the few that didn’t come to Back to School Night, which is also sweet!! 🥺

On a rough day, I received this package from a donor, Brittany Loughman. I definitely needed this reminder that there’s still good left in this world. Thank you, Brittany, for helping out a smile back on my face today! I know my kids will love these math games!

Teaching partner and I tackled this beast of a bulletin board today! It’s in our school’s cafeteria space, and will be used to keep track of golden spoons earned by each class! Golden spoons are earned by being respectful, safe, and kind in the cafeteria.

Damn it, Taylor…I wanted to go to bed early tonight…

My students are receiving new devices this year, and we need more chargers. These blocks are on sale for a limited time for $20! They each have space for 3 chargers, which would make our limited outlet space much more efficient!

Thankful for our first official day back being a work day! Got time to work in my room and completed lots of little jobs, like taking off old labels and putting on new labels!

@beccakittybear.bsky.social Can you share?

While I’m lucky to work in a district that values technology, they don’t supply extra chargers for students to use at school. Extra chargers would make a huge difference for those days students forget to charge at home!

Thank you, Reuben Smith, for the five decks Math Stacks games! These games are perfect for groups to play, and really help them develop flexible thinking as they build stacks of similar numbers. My students will definitely benefit from playing these games!
