I like big teaching and I cannot lie, you other teachas can't deny, when the kids walk in with all the haste and a smile on their face you get pumped!;) she/her

Can you even study the butterfly life cycle without dressing like a butterfly?
It was "release day" for 2nd grade butterflies but oura were still in chrysalis form at this point (I thought they died tbh, turns out they needed wayyyy more time than the other classes) so my class released me...;)

First teacher workday complete:
1. All day meeting.
2. I was not productive during breaks.
3. A very sweet lady I work with hit my car in the parking lot.
4. I did not go viral or collect 10k followers on tiktok.

Stages of Summer: A Thread
2 Weeks Prior to Summer: Increase level of joy paired with decreased levels of work ethic. Zero *cares* given.
1 Week Prior to Summer: It's like Old Town Road in the school, can't nobody tell nobody nothin'!
Last Day: Depends on your class but usually bittersweet.

For the last few years, I've spent July posting my #clearthelist
This year has been no exception.
Each year, every platform starts hemorrhaging links and it feels like I'm on some sort of reality TV show, but the prize is pencils.
I can't help but wonder if it's time to stop.

Unpopular opinion: I don't hate off brand school supplies, even the Roseart crayons are okay by me!
I do prefer my pencils to be pre-sharpened though! #edusky #badandboujie?

Has anyone who taught pre-Covid noticed that kids are thirstier now?
I don't remember many (if any) kids bringing water bottles. They drank out of the fountain mayyyybe twice a day. Now they are running through multiple bottles a day, hydrating like Olympic athletes.

My dad passed pretty unexpectedly almost 6 months ago.
I have mostly failed to deal with it and have largely kept carrying on like normal...but sometimes when things get real quiet I replay that week in my mind in slow motion and I feel stuck.

I remember when I first started teaching I wasn't sure what a digraph was. My idea of comprehension was doing whatever the basal told me.
Now I'm on a committee rewriting our district Unit Planning Organizers.
