Yesterday I finished making dinner a little too la

Yesterday I finished making dinner a little too late and my kids were HANGRY. Even though they had “helped” (🤦🏼‍♀️🙄😂) make this favorite dish, there was a lot of whining, some peanut butter toast and maybe someone threatened moving to someplace that only had bananas to eat.. 🤷🏼‍♀️

🌈Tonight however, dinner was ready (AKA reheated) at 4:50, topped with a ketchup smile or Mr. 4 and a corn and carrots smile for Mr. 5, and served with KNIVES!!! 🍽

What a difference a day (and an hour) can make!! No one was getting a knife yesterday 😂

Dinner was lentil shepherds pie with broccoli, corn and the most delicious mashed potatoes on top. The secret is warmed lite coconut milk flavored with garlic and salt. SOOOO creamy and no coconut taste, I promise!

We had @dreenaburton ‘s super quick chocolate chia pudding for dessert and they pretty much licked their bowls clean.

What’s your secret to getting everyone in their happy place for a meal? Knives , the early bird special and smily faces work wonders over here!!

Tag your teacher besties!

I know it may FEEL like Thursday, but somehow- it’s only Monday😳

We’ll be fine, since we have such AMAZING teacher friends to lean on!

🌈Whether it’s the teacher down the hall that always leaves you a copy of something awesome on the way back from the copier...

🌈Or your co-teacher, who makes you feel like you two are running a talk show, not a Google Meet when you (virtually) blast in unannounced...

🦄THESE are our people!!! And this job would NOT be as fun without them!!

Have a great week, everyone! Spread some teacher love😘

I love these books even more than I expected. If you caught my stories when they were delivered a couple of weeks ago, you’ll remember how beautifully the pages are organized.

For each “bold woman” and “exceptional man” featured, there is one page of informational text paired with a portrait on the facing page.

I’ve finally decided how I’ll use these. I’m going to do a jigsaw. I’ll provide the same pages (about one person) to 3 students in a class. This will mean 7-8 different readings will be distributed in class. Students will independently read and annotate their text for:

📓New/interesting vocabulary
😳Surprising/shocking info
✏️Evidence of leadership
💡Talent or Genius
👀Connections to self/ world/history

Students will get into expert groups to discuss their notes. Via Google Meet, breakout groups will get together to discuss the text that they ALL read. They’ll add to their notes!

Jigsaw Time: New breakout groups will form with students who all read different texts. They’ll each share and as a small group they’ll discuss.

Exit Ticket: How was your person’s experience similar to or different from another person in your Jugsaw group? I will share this question before they get into their groups do they know their focus.

Only teachers get it. Only teachers do it all day.

Only teachers get it. Only teachers do it all day. (If you are a parent at home- I see you teaching👀)

The level of patience teachers greet their homeroom with at 7:45AM is pretty amazing. Sometimes when I’m in the hall in the morning greeting kids I can feel it. This almost superhuman positive energy ball rolling through the building.

And I think, how can anyone have a bad day here? This place is amazing! And by 2:45... just enough of that energy remains to get those kids onto the right busses, and collapse at desks to prepare for tomorrow.

And I thinks it’s this. This directions thing. It’s a real energy suck. Hey kids, here’s what we’re going to do! I’m so excited about it that I wrote it here on the board too. Let’s read it together. Johnny, will you tell us in your own words what we’ll be doing? Hey, Alice!! Take a look in Google Classroom, can you see where I posted the directions? Great! If you click on them, a voice memo I made will read them to you! Isn’t that great?? Let’s get started.

👋🏻👋🏻

🤦🏼‍♀️And then the hand. Sometimes it’s after everyone’s been “working” for a while. Sometimes it’s right away. It doesn’t matter.

🌈Tag a teacher who gives directions well! ❤️ This isn’t the year we will fix this. 🙄 But we can be kinder to ourselves about it! 🦄

🦄Do you wish you could sit RIGHT next to that s

Tired of hearing “Mommmm can I have another snack???” (Right after you fed them!!!)

My kids eat oatmeal or cold cereal every morning and the secret to the cold cereal filling them up is hidden WAY at the bottom.

Can you guess what it is?

It’s oats! Good old, Old Fashioned Rolled Oats!

My two sweet little, fast growing, bottomless pits stay full the LONGEST after breakfast.

What’s you best quick meal hack to keep your kids full and not begging for snack after snack after snack?!?!

I love the style of this book. The two characters

I love the style of this book. The two characters write poems on the same topic, from their own perspectives.

Not only does this book open the reader’s eyes to varying points of view, but it provides an amazing model of a creative way to achieve a purpose as an author.

So often we talk with students about an author’s purpose. And, we talked extensively about this today, with this text.

But my next step is to provide opportunities for students to now play with this inspiring style as authors themselves. What topics do YOU teach that students could show points of view?
