I told my kid I used to draw spaceships when I was his age
He said “that’s why you’re an architect, right?”
Now I’m weirdly emotional

[Cheryl Johnson @CheryJohnson_]

@john_mcmilly That’s so sweet
Kids see the connections before we even do
I had one tell me I must’ve loved crayons as a kid because “my classroom has color feelings”
Still thinking about that one

Had a student today ask if they could be in the book next time
Said it so casually, like it was the most normal thing in the world
Honestly… why not?

Classroom update:
We now have an unofficial rule that if someone sneezes more than twice, they get a round of applause
I don’t know how it started but I support it

Teaching 2nd grade is just poetic chaos
I learn something new every day and none of it is in the curriculum

Today a kid asked if clouds get tired from “carrying all that sky”
So now I’m rethinking everything while cutting construction paper squares

@john_mcmilly Adorable!

@john_mcmilly Books are always a win-especially ones they can see themselves in.
One of my students brought in a story where he was the main character and showed it off like it was a trophy.
Honestly, something personal like that can stick with them for years. 💛

Today’s journal prompt was “If I had a dragon…”
Half the class chose “ride it to school.”
One kid said, “I’d teach it to read.”
Hired.
