💜🎶 Football Sunday and it feels so good 🎶💛

Woke up this morning thinking this doozy of a first full week was almost over…then, Sadie reminded me that it’s only Wednesday… 😩 I definitely need these reminders today. 💗

#proudteacher We’ve been working on Code.org and some Ss have been experimenting with Scratch. Today, one of my Ss saw a project of his spotlighted on the homepage of Scratch!His excitement was contagious (even though this photo doesn’t show it) 💙 #JTLearns

Thank you Mystery Science for a fun “Halloween”ish STEM activity! We loved making our hand skeletons. Yesterday was all about spooky things, including bats&spiders. We used physics to hang bats upside down (not pictured), and started our jumping spiders. #JTLearns

I’m baaaaaaackkkk 🤩 I got to spend 10 amazing weeks home with the little cutie in the photos, and now I’m ready to get back to my other kiddos. The start of this school year was not my best, so my goal for the 2nd half is to be more engaging. #icandothis

How do you help kids learn responsibility & accountability? I’m trading pencils for possessions, & I rocked this sweet sneaker during content yesterday. It fit like Cinderella’s glass slipper. Today, he remembered his pencil.👌 John Rizzo I think you might know its owner. 😅

When your husband owns a pizza shop, it’s only fitting that you celebrate Nat’l Pizza Day.🍕 Welcome to Hummer’s House of Pizza! Ss put together pizza boxes, practiced prepositional phrases, verbs, and problem-solving w/ fractions and decimals. #setthestagetoengage #JTLearns

This week was Kindness Week- very fitting with the Valentine’s holiday. We always talk about being kind to others, but rarely do we ask “What do I love about myself?” So, my class took some time to reflect on that question. 💗 #loveyourself

It’s amazing how “human” I feel when I have an extra day added to my weekend. I could actually sit back and relax for a little and didn’t feel rushed to have to get school and house work done before Monday. Who do I go to about a four-day work week proposal?!

When you let kids be kids, even the “too cool for school” Ss will join in on the fun. 🥰 This month’s positive student behavior reward was all about staying active. Who knew Duck, Duck, Goose was still a fan favorite?! 😃

I’m thankful for my school’s Makerspace and the chance to get out the robots and watch my kids have fun while learning important skills. We started with Ozobots last week, using color coding and Blockly online. We even reviewed measurement while creating racetracks. #JTLearns

Started grad class last week because I’m a bit insane, but I’m excited to dive deeper into 3D learning with the NGSS and new PA STEM standards. This is one of 2 classes needed to complete my Master’s and 1 step closer to achieving my goal. 😃 #STEMed

It’s Prime Day! Help me #clearthelist2022 so I can make my second year in 5th better than my first. I want to create more efficient classroom management so I can be more effective. Thank you, in advance, for your support! 💙💛 amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

Sitting here looking at the date and realizing it’s almost a month out until I’m back at school for a new year. 🫣 Check out my Amazon wishlist if you would like to support my class this year.Thanks 🥰 instagram.com/p/CgPSN5hLsFME…

This past weekend I presented my final project for my Masters in STEM Ed. from LebanonValleyCollege 🥳 Thankful for my supportive and encouraging family and friends; I wouldn’t have been as successful without them. 💙 Next goal: STEM teacher

I’m only 3 weeks behind, no big deal 🙈 We started our school year with a New Year party! 🥳 We danced, learned about our new classmates, and had fun capturing memories with photo props. This is going to be a great year! 💙💛 #setthestagetoengage

My first 2 groups of IXL superstars were celebrated on Friday. These students mastered some fifth grade Math and ELA skills since the start of the year. Who will be celebrated this Friday? 👀

Proud teacher right here 🤩 My class was chosen as PE Class of the Month for September! They were chosen for participating and using good sportsmanship during class. 💙 Now, we need to apply those skills in other areas of our day.

It was a wonderful morning full of alllll the feels. My biggest takeaways: •Observation without evaluation is important •Just 30 seconds is all I need to form a connection #culturematters

🆘 Calling all #fifthgrade teachers! I must know- is there some sort of rite of passage that every fifth grader must jump up or reach up to touch the top of every door or every.single.thing hanging from the ceiling?! 🙃
