I’ve really struggled this year... I’ve strug I’ve really struggled this year...  I’ve struggled to enjoy teaching this year. And because of that, I’ve stayed away for social media for the most part.  I’ve struggled with not wanting to hear about the amazing things others are doing because it made me feel sad that I wasn’t excited.  I’ve struggled with not being able to hear about other teachers struggles because it would make me feel worse.  But I will say for the first time since August there’s hope because slowly but surely my creativity is peeking through. I hope it sticks around.  I’m sorry I haven’t been around lately...I just didn’t think it would be this hard.

Fall has quickly become one of my favorite seasons Fall has quickly become one of my favorite seasons. If I’m being honest, I never really experienced fall. I lived near the coast of South Carolina my entire life, so fall for us was when the temperature dropped into the 80’s. After 36 years, I moved to the upstate near the mountains and now I know what fall really is and all I can say is I AM IN LOVE!! 🍁🍂 What’s your favorite season?
We started multiplication with area model. When I We started multiplication with area model. When I first moved to 4th grade, I was so nervouse to teach this because I didn't get it, but now I see the benefits of using strategies like this to teach multiplication. One way I try to engage students in tougher concepts is letting them write on their desks with dry erase markers. It's such a simple engagement trick! What do you do to spice up your tougher lessons?
