YUP! A song related to every lesson! And never fails to be in my head all day long. 😂

[Ms. Dalton @MsDalton6]

Our Thankful Turkey looks different this year but still filled with gratitude! And yes I’m on it multiple times because I’m extra thankful for my kiddos and TA’s! (Students chose an emoji as their visual symbol in Aug. Easy and helpful for non-readers!)

[Ms. Dalton @MsDalton6]

The past few weeks have stretched me as both a human and a teacher. Today I was reminded that my school family has my back. Thank you to my WBO peeps for this amazing care package and filling my bucket. ❤️

Keeping it simple this week.
🥀Thorn: Hate the thought of missing my kiddo’s hearts behind a screen.
🌹Rose: I kind of feel like at this time, I’m not. I see them and feel them and it feels mutual. Today I got a “thanks for helping me Ms. Dalton, love you.” ❤️

[Ms. Dalton @MsDalton6]

@sfreese_37 Miss you lots lots lots!

[Ms. Dalton @MsDalton6]

Happy long weekend Friyay! Institute day vibes below. @MichaelBonner_ was 💣 speaker today!
🥀Thorn: Being a remote teacher with in-person students has my heart literally breaking.
🌹Rose: Kids were so happy to be back in the classroom! And have been mostly rocking the masks!

[Ms. Dalton @MsDalton6]

What? It was only a week and not a month? Weird.
🥀Thorn: A week of lots of emotions and a tough decision. I’ll be a Jetson’s style remote teacher. 😥
🌹Rose: My room is kid ready! And @wborenic tech is pretty amazing!!! Also kids are rocking our matter unit.

[Ms. Dalton @MsDalton6]

Another week in the books.
🥀Thorn: Trying to reconfigure my classroom and schedule for the 3rd time in 3 months and it’s draining.
🌹Rose: Kids have been doing amazing using the chat during Meets and navigating to exit tickets. I have whole group formative assessment data! 🙌

[Ms. Dalton @MsDalton6]

@hethertech I only wish I knew. 😭

[Ms. Dalton @MsDalton6]

It’s been a super long week but the weather and kiddos make it better.
🥀Thorn: Like most of my students, I do not do well with unknowns and changes. I need a social story.
🌹Rose: A few of my goal getters met IEP goals this week! Fluency, multiplication and dollar over!

[Ms. Dalton @MsDalton6]

Happy teacher tee Friyay!

[Ms. Dalton @MsDalton6]

🥀Thorn: Google Meet needs to go ahead and give the meeting host cosistent mute/unmute power!
🌹Rose: Student independently emailed to apologize for leaving a Meet early, complete with 😢 emojis (and came back to a Meet to chat about it)!!! @Lindy1724 🤍

[Ms. Dalton @MsDalton6]

Pandemic teaching has inspired me to start new traditions! Teacher tee Friyay! And weekly @AndyBravoandy style roses and thorns.
