More artwork from this weekend. Acrylic on canvas. Title: Discontinued Chaos

First day of school was last Wednesday, already have a sore throat ugh

can’t remember which teacher’s social media I saw about having a “scholars table” but I set up a table with extra teaching resources for science and social studies (posters/books) when they finish work they go check it out. The conversations about rocks and maps have been great!

First day of teacher inservice… learned about learning styles… iykyk

Here’s my class wishlist this year. I moved rooms and grade levels 3rd-4th. I don’t have a cute ai post, just a few wants for the room. amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/HS…

My best yet, take that wordle

Elementary teachers? How do you handle misuse when the bathroom is in the room? 9yo peed on the floor, not even a “miss” just flooded the floor with pee. Then, proceeded to leave pee-pee footprints across the classroom. Admin says he says he didn’t do it. May is too long…

I keep seeing posts from teachers sad because they didn’t get the gifts kids were told to bring them. Is this common? It comes off as gross to me. I don’t want a present someone was told to give me, if you don’t want to give me a gift I’m not offended. Gifts are not expected.

Unhinged classroom management, 3rd grade style. First thing Monday morning I told the kids “It’s a ‘no whining’ week” since then, I just keep saying “Nope, it’s a no whining week” or “I already called it, no whining this week” not sure I can use this beyond Friday. Good luck!

Evacuated the school today for a bomb threat. The empty desks with all the left behind belongings makes me sad. Reminds me of the empty classroom 6 years ago when covid shut us down

What I love most about my job is that I can do something crazy fun because the class is getting along and engaged and the sun is shining. So, for figurative language review today we analyzed a verse from a K-pop Demon Hunters song. And because we could we watched the music video

Thank you @Apple for updating the software and automatically deciding what apps I was allowed to see while in my own house. Took me forever to figure out why I couldn’t access my apps and how to get my home screen back to the way I had it. #unimpressed

“Small Sounds”

One of my favorite things about school breaks, time for art
