“Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.” - Martin Luther King, Jr. I created this bulletin board and reading response activity to combine my two passions: teaching reading and social emotional learning. I can’t wait to add my students’ reading responses of how the individuals they are reading about this month have exemplified some of these inspirational character traits.

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy teachers make happy classrooms ❤️ Teaching and learning new strategies and approaches has always been one of my greatest joys. Last year I took my first class in mindfulness and it quickly became a passion. Since then I’ve taken another class and began teaching mindfulness to my students. The difference it’s made in myself, my students, and my classroom is incredible. Most of all ... it’s the difference it’s made for me. My mindfulness practice has made me a human I’m proud of. Some days I have to remind myself of that. Today was one of them. It wasn’t a bad day in the classroom. I was just being really hard on myself. You know ... not momming right, not wifing right, not friending right. This practice has taught me that I can choose to dwell in that or choose to feel it and move on. I chose the latter. I chose my passion and my happy. Ive been trying to figure out how I can share this mindfulness practice with you. I don’t fully have my answer yet, but I also wonder, would you be interested? #mindfulteaching #mindfulnessteacher #mindfulnesspractice #iteach #teachersofig #teachersofinsta #teachergram #teachersofthegram #teachershare #teachershare #mindfulnessforkids #mindfulnessforchildren #iteachfifth #iteach345 #iteach5th #elementaryteacher #upperelementary #makeyourhappy

AWESOME LESSON PLAN IDEA 💡 BY FAR one of my favorite ways to introduce a new concept. They don’t always figure it out, but the depth of analysis and discussion they have over the texts is incredible. • For this new unit we are analyzing the similarities and differences in fiction and nonfiction. If I had told them that, the only thing I would have gotten was the usual, “one is real and one is not.” But without that knowledge, their thoughts weren’t limited to just that. They found so many details they could have sorted by, along with many that didn’t end up working out.• It was awesome 😎 and the discussion we were able to have as a class because of the time they put in first, 😍 WOWED• This isn’t just for the concept I used this week. How could you use this lesson idea in your classroom?• #iteach #iteachfifth #iteachfifthgrade #iteach5th #elementaryteacher #upperelementary #teachershare #teacherideas #teachersofinsta #teachersofig #teachergram #teachersofthegram #teachershare #criticalthinking #readingteacher #iteachwriting #iteachreading #collaboration
