Let’s talk MAILBOXES. 📫 I use mailboxes like these that @creativeschooldaze uses (but much less pretty) for student work and notes. 📝 One of my class jobs is mailman, and that student at the end of each day distributes all notes and returned papers to the correct mailbox! Students check them daily. 🗃 Do you use mailboxes? If not, what do you prefer? ⤵️

My favorite way to add engagement to TEXTBOOK READING! 📚 —- Textbooks can be valuable and our students do need to practice reading to learn, but they’re usually not the most thrilling. 🙃 I created Kahoot AND Quizizz designers to make students look forward to readings. —- Today, I paired my students into partners to read a couple pages of our Science text. 🌎 Then, they had to write two Kahoot questions about what they read. 📝 The best part is I DO choose some of them to go into an actual Kahoot! They read closely because they 1️⃣ want to create quality questions so I’ll use them and 2️⃣ need the knowledge in the text to play the game! —- This template (combined with the Quizizz) is in my TPT store! Link in profile. 🔗 What’s an easy go-to way to engage your students in reading to learn? ⤵️

SCOOP ROCKERS aren’t just for little ones! 🙌 @thecolorfulteacher uses these for her second graders, but these exact ones fit my fourth graders and they LOVE them. 🛋 You can find 6 packs on Amazon, or we found these exact ones at Big Lots in the summer. —- What piece of seating do your students run for? ⤵️

Excuse me, WHAT? 🙅🏻‍♀️ Apparently only the handles are scented but WHO ARE YOU HIRING, @westcottbrand?! #teachernightmare #scissorsupthenose #ijustcutmynosealittlemisslagrow

When you find a FREE differentiated reading and math website that’s perfect for your students! 🙌. —- @esparklearning is letting all K-5 teachers have one year free to their platform! 😍 After a placement test, eSpark appropriately levels students for both reading and math to complete engaging activities independently. 💻 There’s also great accommodations like it reading to your students who are auditory learners. 👂 —- Go sign up for a FREE year of eSpark—no gimmicks! Link is in my profile. It’s a great self-paced, engaging website for ELA or Math centers or intervention. 🤓 #ad #sponsored #esparklearning #espark

It’s NATIONAL COFFEE DAY and I feel personally targeted by this mug. 🙃☕️ I have always been *messy* and physically unorganized—I mean, creatively organized. 😏. —- Any other complete hot mess expresses out there? 🙋🏻‍♀️⤵️ Let’s show each other we’re not alone in this teacher world.
