Teachers get to play fun games at school. Such as "Can you find a working copier during your prep?" And if you lose, you get to try again during your lunch. Another game is "Can you go to the bathroom between classes and before class starts?" You don't want to lose this one.

#guesswhoupdate Today a group wanted to end our time playing Guess Who and I told them I had just added pronouns to all the characters yesterday. They soon noticed I had “they”. One student said, “those are *my* pronouns!” (I had no idea!) The group was so excited & so am I 😭🥰

I was just asked if I’m a teacher. I have “the look”. Hehe I guess it’s the 🧳☕️😴 labourious walking? (I soon got picked up for a ride from a colleague one block from school 🙈)

is it overtired or teacher in June or? I have a reminder in my phone to look for where on earth I put my toothpaste 🤪 (currently using travel one)

I really enjoy the first full day of school with new students. 🥰

ICYWW there was a squirrel in my classroom this morning! It ran back out the window (before I could get a photo 😔) as I yelled in surprise from the hallway. 🐿️

Favourite quote of the day: “You are not an angry teacher.”

One of my newcomer students brought their ring of important phrases back today. They don’t need them anymore 😍

So excited about my free books from High Noon! I answered a survey and won a credit! Hope I can buy some books from them soon too - “high interest content for struggling readers of all ages” 😍 highnoonbooks.com

Curriculum as planned / curriculum as lived. Hurrah for an owl sighting this morning to inspire our sentence expanding!

highlight today was one of my students noticing how many more words they were using in a game and then wanting the translator to make sure it was clear to me too. 🥰

I wouldn’t mind a colder day tomorrow so that I can wear this dress when I try out this game with a group 🙈
