The past couple of days have have made me do a lot of thinking about being a teacher but not actually teaching right now. I am sad that I am not able to be distance learning with my kiddos. I miss my #StrandFam.
When it’s the day after Halloween, on a Friday, and your class is the most focused in math they have ever been, you celebrate!!! #strandfam#workhardplayhard#celebrate
Check out these #QUALITYCHARACTERS!!! They were doing an amazing job following directions, staying focused on their learning and being a great model for their peers! Way to go #StrandFam kiddos!!!
Currently reading @mrronclark_ The Essential 55 and it’s exactly what I need before next school year! I can’t wait to incorporate these into my classroom and make them my own! #StrandFam’s #EssentialNumberTBD
It was so great to finish out the school year by going to see #ToyStory4 with a few of the kiddos. Can I just keep them in 5th forever?! #ilovesummer but #imissmystudents
Proud teacher moment when teaching my students a card game on card day: “wait....this involves so much math! But it’s so much fun!!” #TeacherWin#LifeReady
Summer is right around the corner (5.5 days, but who’s counting?!) and I know many parents want to prevent “summer slide”. Check out these 9 great tips from @ForTheTeachers My favorites- number 1 and 4!! #SummerReading#familiesthatreadtogether
A few days the final marble finally fell! Today they are cashing in- Movie day during lunch!! In you can’t tell, they are super hyped!! #WorkHardPlayHard#PositiveIncentives
My kiddos have worked SO hard to get ready for their math SOL that’s tomorrow and Friday. I am proud to be their teacher!! I thought they needed to see this reminder today. #theyhaveGRIT
My husband had the honor of visiting the @ronclarkacademy today with @SunTrust and I couldn’t be more jealous. Everything he told me inspired me to work harder for these kiddos and try new things! #onmybucketlist#eachkidisworthit
Idiom Day 2019 was one for the books! It was raining cats and dogs at @thes_elem with idioms galore. 3rd and 4th even stopped by to try and figure out what each student was! #idiomday#CreativeThinking
My stock brokers have LOVED participating in the Stock Market Game. Thanks to @htadair for teaching them how the stock market works, for helping them get #LifeReady and for creating a financially savvy future for our kiddos!
