New year. New unit. New standards. I’m actually kinda freaking out over having to come up with new activities. #imissteachingtheplanets #istresstoomuch #iteachstem #iteachfifth https://t.co/dsqt88kfPY

Took an idea from @therealsciencepenguin and adapted it for my fifth graders. Great way to front load vocabulary in his unit. #iteachfifth #iteachstem #iteach5thgrade #dissolve #mixturesandsolutions https://t.co/mxfNWtPJnk

I love the Pringles Can Inventor Spotlight Project. A great way to finish out our “failure” unit. #iteachstem #iteachfifth #growthmindset https://t.co/PYK1cytGCU

After “failure week” and “scientists at work” I’m looking forward to seeing what my kiddos create for their Pringles Can Inventor Project. #iteachfifth #iteachstem #iteach5th https://t.co/uqfFVbz4RY

Today we finished the Mystery Box Challenge in class. As students tried to develop their own set of experimental steps for comparing the sample items to their mystery box. Some kids got super frustrated. Most had a good attitude and learned from their mi… https://t.co/ibWdWXo6Mw

For anyone who was curious, here’s the “stuff” I let kids experiment with to see which item was in their Mystery Box. Of course, not until they had an approved list of steps for their experiment. #learningfromfailures #iteachstem #growthmindset #iteachfi… https://t.co/EN8NxOOuh9

Day 1 of the Mystery Box Challenge. Since I prepped this all last night, the contents of each box are a mystery to ME too! Kids were super motivated to make observations about their box. #ivesleptsincethen #teacherproblems #iteachfifth #iteach5th #iteach… https://t.co/ekyx4piSTO

In keeping with the theme of “failure” week, I read aloud Rosie Revere, Engineer. Students love storybooks and this one has such a great message about learning from our fabulous first flops. #iteachstem #iteach5th #iteachfifth #learningfromfailuresandmis… https://t.co/b5Xq1vtrcF

Working on my August schedule. I’ve never been a big “planner” user, but trying to juggle teaching, owning a business, and family life has made it a necessity this year. Thanks to one of my sweet employees @randomhaleyd for giving me this adorable teache… https://t.co/LVmoPXINdS

In Walmart the other day and I totally got sucked into the school supply isle. It wasn’t even fully stocked - which is probably why I ended up noticing and BUYing these adorable spiral notebooks. No clue what I’ll use them for but I don’t care. 😍 #it… https://t.co/9Wyg8WrAdM

What’s on YOUR nightstand? Apparently I need some serious moisturizing since it’s mostly lotions. Ha! And obviously it’s summertime since there’s NO TIME during the school year to read! #iteachstem #iteach5th #iteachfifth #teachersonbreak https://t.co/MIreehIYeJ

And this, friends, is what $14,975 looks like. Two new HVAC units installed last week. I HATE spending money on stuff like this, but living in the south requires air conditioning. #soexpensivethough #atleastihavegoodcredit #wishicouldhavetakenacruiseinst… https://t.co/fJxELlNiRe
