PSA: I’ve tripped, slipped, and about threw a fit 🤦🏽‍♀️ we placed command strips on the front of their desk to hold their book bags. This is a way to get them out of the way and make sure you don’t slip, trip, or throw a fit.

Every time I walk into my classroom, I dream up new ideas. So I go straight to Pinterest, trying to find new ideas and things to build off of. I stay up all night looking and reading. Then I remember, that school won’t be ‘normal’. Hate it so much #whatisnormal

@talbotta0803 It’s a wild time 😂

While having a Google Meet with my kiddos today, one of them speaks up and says “Mrs. Spurlin, I took your advice. I read to my Teddy Bear like you said and he loved it!” Trying to bring the joy of reading back - I’ll count this as a small success #bringthejoy

I miss my students 😩 yesterday, during our regular facetime call- this sweet blessing asked me if I wanted to slide with her. From a distance, she takes me for more than one adventure down the slide. I believe I enjoyed it more than she did. ❤️#bringthejoy #lovewhatyoudo

Through COVID-19, I have been able to self reflect & learn so many things. But one thing I have realized recently is, no matter how much I do while remote learning, I don’t feel like Mrs. Spurlin, I feel like Tiffany. I miss being in the classroom so much. Am I the only one?

@talbotta0803 @DairyQueen Me too!

[Tiffany Spurlin @MrsSpurlin_]

Let me tell y’all something- I have the BEST lil spuds. They have been working so hard, & I'm so proud of them. I wanted to do a little something for them to show my appreciation.
Thank you to @DairyQueen for their ’treats’. #bringthejoy

ps. I'm a snail mail kind of girl💌

As I read her book, I realized a lot of times students just pick books. They don’t pick THEIR book. This is a great take away that I want to apply to my classroom. #SCSEd #SCSReads

Aimee Buckner- author of Notebook Connections- talks about how visualization is the joy of reading. What are they seeing as they read and how can we expand on this. Loving this book on readers notebooks. I have so many ideas for the up coming year 😄 #SCSEd #SCSReads

[Tiffany Spurlin @MrsSpurlin_]

“I never chose to read when I could do something else”-Aimee Buckner. This really stuck out to me because this was me as a kid. Why read when you could watch it. The more I reflect back and the more books I read about teaching, I realize how important it is to find YOUR book.

[Tiffany Spurlin @MrsSpurlin_]

Aimee Buckner states that writing is more complex and what we realize. In doing readers notebooks it gives them an opportunity to create and have purpose. #SCSEd #SCSReads

While talking to a parent today she says,
Parent: “hey, your coon dog pups like to come out early don’t they?”
Me: “uh yeah, they like to roam the ‘gaps”
Parent: “well they are standing in the front yard”
Me: “oh my lanta, I’m so sorry 🤦🏽‍♀️”

When in Lowgap....

Wanted to jump on the bitmoji wagon 😬 wish I had thought of this sooner. Can’t wait to add this is my morning check in and my calming corner! #bringthejoy #itsthelittlethings #throwafit

[Tiffany Spurlin @MrsSpurlin_]

I found my next bulletin board for my classroom. #calmingcorner #bringthejoy Oh I'm so excited to start back with my little spuds

In "The Destress Corner," Ss in T @PlatouWorld's school community can spend a few moments coloring to clear their minds!

Hi 👋🏼 My name is Tiffany Spurlin and I am addicted to Epic Academy. I can’t control myself, the more quest I can do, the more addicted I become. Yesterday alone, I worked from 4:30-9:00 on just Epic. I have a problem #bringthejoy #EPICAcademy

[Tiffany Spurlin @MrsSpurlin_]

Excited to join the @crepanthers team on Epic Acadmey. #bringthejoy #EPICAcademy #earnsomebadges

*one school, one book* Lil spuds have taken a new interest in Charlie and the Chocolate factory. I love to watch the engagement, but I also love to watch them listen as I read. Whatever style works better for them, this is how we read aloud #bringthejoy

A little math scootin’ boogie this week. Some played review games on prodigy while others went around & played our scoot game. We did a little flip flop with our teams. They were so excited to scoot around the room but also have review. This might be my new favorite way to scoot
