My students and their parents threw me a surprise baby shower, and I’m finally reading these advice cards 🥹 my heart is so full for these kiddos and how much they love baby DV! Also love the variety of advice 😉

We are looking forward to hearing from some amazing speakers today at the ICTM conference! @IowaMathTeach #iowamathteach

Today in one of my math small groups, we moved to an addition problem that went to the millions place. One student very seriously shook his head and said, “Now this is some good math right here.” And I could NOT help but laugh 😂 #elemmath

@d_mulder I just love the idea that this precious boy decided, “I’m wearing a tie today, therefore a fancy fragrance is necessary” 😂😂

You know it's going to be a good Picture Day in 4th grade when you start to smell cologne in your classroom 🤣 #ohboy #picturedayproblems

School is over and I'm driving around town. I'm always amazed that there are just people out and about on a Wednesday morning...I feel like I'm "out in the wild". Never gets old! #summerteacherlife

"He was supreme in the beginning and—leading the resurrection parade—he is supreme in the end. From beginning to end he’s there, towering far above everything, everyone. So spacious is he, so roomy, that everything of God finds its proper place in him without crowding.

[Kate De Vries @katedevries18]

These are the verses I will be reading to my fourth graders tomorrow on the first day of school. Making it clear from the start that JESUS is at the center of our classroom. Hope they encourage you as well on this Sunday! #Jesusatthecenter

[Kate De Vries @katedevries18]

If you’re really good at not comparing yourself to others, then maybe go for it 😊 can be a great tool, but just prepare yourself 😂

[Kate De Vries @katedevries18]

Word of advice for all my anxious teacher friends: don’t dive into the world of teacher Instagram...especially beginning of August. It’s a scary place of unrealistic expectations 😬
