What do you do when it’s been a long week and students keep asking to play games instead of do math?? You take the knowing math workbook pages and turn them in a game of Jenga!! Such a fun way to end the week! @staffordmiddle

As I was walking out of my classroom today, reflecting on week 2 of virtual learning, I caught a glimpse of the only part of my room I managed to decorate before the year began...and was reminded that in these crazy and stressful times, my students need me now more than ever. ❤️

[Mrs. Howell @MrsMHowellSMS]

@ingram_edu Thanks for being THE BEST teacher bestie. I’m going to miss our crazy spirit week ideas, the endless laughter, and your daily inspiration. I’m a better teacher today because you.❤️ I’m so excited to see the amazing things you’re going to do at @NSHSWolverines!

Picked up the rest of my stuff from @staffordmiddle. It’s a bittersweet transition as I head to @NSHSWolverines. Thanks to @elchenkoss @mrsjillbryant and @MrsGardnerSMS for your endless support. Thank you @MrsMHowellSMS for being my other half. Buckle up North, I’m coming! 💙

@MrsEPark1 @luciashelleym @cannonsclassact Kim! I know you said something about revamping your bitmoji classroom - didn’t know if you were aware there is a way to put your actually self in the classroom and not just the bitmoji version of yourself!! 😊

Thankful Thursday! Today I am thankful for a supportive and loving wife, the greatest of friends who make me laugh and always have my back, and technology, so I can still see my family, even though they are 700+ miles away. 🥰 I truly am blessed.❤️@staffordmiddle #SMSteachersrock

Wellness Wednesday! All of this virtual teaching and tons of emails has me feeling overwhelmed some days...which is why it is so important to take care of your mental health. My breaks today consisted of playing Minecraft with my sister-in-law and chatting with my cute niece. 🥰

[Mrs. Howell @MrsMHowellSMS]

@MrsGardnerSMS @staffordmiddle Thanks!! I had to get creative! Those “marshmallows” are also just cotton balls on kabob skewers. 🤣

Tourist Tuesday! Our favorite vacation destination is camping by Lake Michigan, where we get to sit around the campfire with family and friends! Looking forward to when we can sneak away and enjoy the peacefulness of Michigan again. ❤️ @staffordmiddle #SMSteachersrock

Missing our Spartans and their Spartan spirit tremendously on this 5th and final day of our SMS Virtual Spirit Week. @staffordmiddle #SMSSpartanSpirit

Day 4 of SMS Virtual Spirit Week is Pet Day! Meet Kovu, the fluffiest, most stubborn chinchilla and only fur child of the Howell household. He loves to stick his face through the bars and beg for treats. How could you say no to that little nose!?@staffordmiddle #SMSSpartanSpirit

When your wife can’t choose between a birthday cake or cookies, but knows she wants homemade buttercream frosting, you combine the two and make a cookie cake! Sad I couldn’t decorate her classroom today and her students couldn’t celebrate with her, but this will have to do! ❤️

Day 3 of #SMSSpartanSpirit means wearing purple to support our military kids! @staffordmiddle

[Mrs. Howell @MrsMHowellSMS]

Ooh aah proud to be a Chippewa! Once a Chip, always a Chip. ❤️💛 Day 2 of virtual spirit week at SMS = repping the place I call home - the place that helped shape me into the educator I am today. @CMUniversity @staffordmiddle #SMSSpartanSpirit #FireUpChips🔥👆

Cross stitching is my all-time favorite craft when I have free time! However, I also love to do diamond art! This week I’m starting a “passage of time” diamond art! #SMSSpartanSpirit @staffordmiddle
