I'm a 4th grade teacher, and a kid at heart!

@TennHawkman It’s annoying, and I have samples I want to make videos for, but can’t.

Anybody else having major issues with #tiktok today? I can’t access my collab invites and none of the videos I have uploaded today are actually showing up for anyone other than me. American corporations have already destroyed it. #tiktokoutage #corporategreed #contentcreator

Did you know that @nearpod has amazing videos to help introduce or reinforce topics? This text feature video is adorable and so informative! #nearpod #teacherlife #teacher #textfeatures #nonfiction

We’re halfway there!! Thanks to a donation from @sonicdrivein I am $420 closer to getting my students keyboards to use with their iPads! If you are able, please donate or share our project. Thank you!! https://t.co/85pyXcc7Ey

Today was a gorgeous weather day in #Florida. Before long the heat and humidity of summer will be here, so I had all of my students grab a book and we headed outside for about 20 minutes to just enjoy the cool breeze. #Teacher #Reading #Read #BeautifulDay

We incorporated our #BenQ into our ELA lesson today. I also figured out how to collaborate on the EZWrite using their student iPads. So much to learn, but we are having a good time doing it! #CitrusSchools #classroomtech #AcademicTwitter

We have had so much fun learning how to incorporate our new BenQ into the classroom today! I think the math program (Maths Tutor) with interactive components, games, practice problems, and educational video clips is my favorite find of the day! #citrusschools #BenQ #techtuesday

[Tara Simpson @MsSimpsonClass]

Our new BenQ was installed last night! Trying out some interactive games on this rainy day! #BenQ #citrusschools #technology

Today we learned about magnetic fields and demonstrated the attraction by defying gravity with paper lips on string. It’s not magic, it’s SCIENCE! #science #magnets #magneticfield #walkthedog #teacher #coolschool

These days are few and far between, but they earned a Fun Friday of creative play! #FunFriday #CreativePlay #STEMeducation

[Tara Simpson @MsSimpsonClass]

Phew! I have been a grading machine today! Moving onto report card comments and updating my data spreadsheet. We need dedicated teacher work days every couple of weeks. There isn’t enough time in a school day to complete all of our tasks.

I just realized I never posted pictures of when my students received their letters to Hogwarts, or any of their wand images. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I love creating this magic for them. #teacher #HarryPotter20thAnniversary #HarryPotter #BetterTogether

Students who have completed all of their work are able to utilize our classroom STEAM centers on Fridays. I will neither confirm nor deny that I ran through the block tower! 😂 #BetterTogether #CSE #FunFriday

We are so grateful to have been visited by a wonderful Navy Veteran today. One of my super inquisitive students even got to try on her bomber jacket. Thank you to all who serve! #VeteransDay #ThankAVeteran #VeteransintheClassroom #BetterTogether #citrusschools

[Tara Simpson @MsSimpsonClass]

Due to technology glitches, we finally got around to some of our STEAM centers today! Watching my students work together to construct and problem-solve was wonderful. I’m working hard to get more centers going in all subjects. #BetterTogether #education

Today, we expanded on our lesson about tendons and how our fingers move and created x-rays of our hands to decorate our windows for Halloween. Creepy, yet educational! 😂 🦴 #Halloween #spookyseason #MysteryScience #CitrusSchools #CSE
