I have a love of all things green but these two plants are special! These were the only two things I really had to grab when I went to school today to “get anything you need to grab from your classroom because it will be closed for the next few weeks.” It was the job of one of my students to water these every Friday. He was not even one of my homeroom kids this year (he was last year but I wasn’t able to keep him when looping and regrouping students) but he said having a job in my room made him feel like more of a part of the room 😍. It mattered to him and the fact that it did, mattered to me. Now I’ll just think of that super special boy every time I water them m to grab for home before leaving? #iteach #smallthingsmatter #thecoronavirussucks #teacher #teachers #teachershare #teacherlife #teacherproblems #teachersofig #teachersofinsta #teachergram #teachersofthegram #elementaryteacher #elementaryteachers #upperelementary #iteachfifth #iteachfifthgrade #5thgrade #5thgradeteacher #teachertribe #igteachers

I’m so glad I had these! Part of our school’s remote learning resources had to be instructional materials to help the students complete the assignments we send each week. These portable, easy to access charts have been a game-changer in my classroom this year, and now they were a life saver for this new learning/teaching situation! It only made sense to send a set of anchor charts for each of my students to use. Because they’ve been so helpful for me, I’ve dropped the price to half in my TpT store. They’ll stay that price for the rest of the week (until Friday afternoon).

Nerf bullets and a spinner for math today 😁 Because even though we’ve been home for days (and days and days) it still feels like a Monday and this boy loves his nerf guns and needed just a little more engaging strategies to get the work done today. There are so MANY free spinner options online to help with homeschooling activities and math manipulative scan be ANYTHING available! It’s still important to teach creatively, maybe even more so, when thinking about at home learning options. #iteach #remotelearning #distancelearning #teachertips #teachertipscovid19 #teachermom #teachermomlife #teachersofig #teachersofthegram #teachergram #teachertribe #teacherideas #teacherhacks #teacherresources #studentengagement #mathteacher #mathteachersofinstagram

Not trying to brag or anything , but I’m getting really good at doing nothing!! And to be honest, I’m not hating it!! I mean, if you think about it, we’ve all talked about time for a break, and time to take care of ourselves, now it’s just mandatory. There’s so much time to be productive and do all the stuff! Or, to do nothing at all. Or to grow new skills and passions (gardening, self mani/pedis, hand lettering, creating, doodling, braiding and styling my kids’ hair, being present with my family, reading, my list is growing) I hope you’re also taking time to enjoy time for yourself! What things for you, are you filling your time with? I’d love to know below. #teacher #teacherlife #teachersofig #teachersofthegram #teachergram #elementaryteachers #upperelementary #teachersarepeopletoo #teachersbelike #teacherselfcare #iteach #iteachfifth #iteachfifthgrade #iteach345 #iteach456 #readingteacher #writingteacher #elateacher

I’m always looking for books that I can suggest to my fifth grade boys who “just don’t like to read.” This book combines graphic novel and poetry with themes of family, brotherhood, love, sports, and loss. I may not be able to offer this copy to them like I normally would, but I’m definitely sending this as a suggestion to some of my higher level, mature readers. I’m thinking some kind of classroom book giveaway and I’ll send a lucky student a copy from Amazon. Some of the vocabulary and content is on a higher level, so I’d probably stick to 5th-middle school for this one. I’ve added a link for this book in my bio if you’re interested in adding this to your own classroom library. #iteach #iteachreading #iteachwriting #elateacher #readingteacher #remotelearning #upperelementary #teachersofig #teachersofinsta #teachersofthegram #teachergram #bookstagram #teachershare #5thgrade #5thgradeteacher #iteachfifth #iteachfifthgrade #iteach567 #iteach5th #teachertribe
