My 5th graders are writing rough drafts of end of year speeches & this one had me in tears today. The progress this student has made this year is huge-this today was a reminder of why I do what I do ❤️ to get a student to believe in themselves is bigger than any test score

Ss made EOG review math board games last week and are playing them in rotations - one student stays to explain directions to each team as they rotate. Ss created math task cards and answer keys for their games Oakview Elementary

This Oakview Elementary version of monopoly is one of my favorites! So creative! They used the colors of the hallways and grade level teachers

What did I do on a break from packing up my apartment? Made these fun posters - incorporated student sayings/interests into classroom posters🤣 #classroomdecor teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Minima…

Best Christmas break ever 🫶🏼🎄💍

What a sweet way to start a Friday morning! This school year has been rough and the Ss motivation has been lacking so to get this message was just what I needed to keep doing what I’m doing!

Nothing like a fun Friday and an encouraging note from your principal to end the week! Super Bowl fun on Monday!

Very #Merica kind of morning here. If it were a weekday I very easily could have caught a picture of a couple F35’s flying over too haha

🤍 best day ever - 7.13.24 🤍

This school year is off to a great start! They wrote as many answers as they could on the index cards they used to build their towers. Starting the year off with great teamwork

I planned on having a space day tomorrow but Hurricane Helene had other plans. Stay safe all my Floridian friends!

Space day was a hit yesterday! Ss solved math practice test questions checking answers via a digital escape room. 100% engagement 🙌🏻 I heard “this is the best day ever!” and they asked if they could stay inside for recess 🤣 #setthestagetoengage #4thgrademath

This is the Florida Gulf Coast…best of both worlds 🌴❄️

Our March Madness was out of this world 🤣 I used the Baamboozle website to review our 4th grade math standards- if they go their question correct they got to shoot a basket for extra points

The Army let my husband come home for a break from deployment to take care of me this week 🫶🏼 and my coworkers stepped up for me in bigs ways between helping teach my students and wrapping up field trip planning. Beyond blessed and thankful!

Reviewing for our Florida FAST math test this week!

The messages I received today from parents in regards to their child’s math FAST scores are what keep me going. Along with the smiles on the kids faces when they learn how much they grew! I almost cried several times today because I was so proud!! They put in that hard work!

Year 10 will look a little different for me! I will be stepping out of the classroom & taking on the role of instructional coach. Bittersweet but I can’t wait to work with & learn from educators next year! Big step out of my comfort zone! Ready to help others #bethewildcard
