I got this note in my box today from one of my students last year. I made me cry because this class was amazing and I never got to really say goodbye and I miss them! And sometimes you just need to hear that you are making a difference.

What would you do?! ⁉️ My daily cart has not had the same attention this year! 🙁 It used to hold my copies for each day but since having less papers and being in a hybrid schedule I just haven’t really used it. It’s making me wonder if I should repurpose it is just wait until next year when things hopefully return to normal? 🤔

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 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?

As we get closer to Halloween...students start to get a little antsy. One thing I like to do around this time of the year is bring out Spookley. He hops around during the day to visit student desks who are showing good behavior. Obviously this year...a stuffed pumpkin isn't going to work...so I found a plastic pumpkin that I can wipe down in between visits!!
