School’s out for summer! Celebrating with tacos! Treaux's Cajun BBQ helped me @GiftAMeal to a family in need! #TreauxsCajunBBQ #GiftAMeal api.giftameal.app/local-busi…

Today we held our #afftonstrong Community Day of Service. Many of our first grade classrooms brought in cereal boxes to donate to a local food pantry. Here’s our excitement for the fun we had helping those in our Affton community. #afftonserves @AfftonSchools

Day 129 was another “first day” of school for us. We had been learning virtually and in a hybrid model for the past YEAR. Teaching to a room full of students, eager to share with EVERYONE in-person for the first time since March 2020 was pretty special. ✨

Today I read aloud the book Our Class Is a Family during our morning class Google meet. We discussed ways in which our class is a family and together developed our class mission. I hope we remember to be there for our classmates just like our own families are supporting us now.

Thank you @BethHouf for the talk on Teacher TLC! It was definitely what we all needed to hear and be reminded of. #SCLS2020

Yesterday ended our 10 weeks of distance learning for our students. It was a crazy adventure, but I wouldn’t have ended it any other way. This parade to cheer on our kids couldn’t have been more perfect. 💜💛 #apartyettogether #afftonstrong

I LOVE @ClassDojo for all of their tools and resources! I’m so thankful for them, especially in this time of need. Creating a Remote Learning Community with ClassDojo 📚 youtu.be/0IqnV06bKNw via @YouTube

Teacher friends and admin looking for 5th grade math resources, my husband @heuringd creates videos covering 5th grade MO math standards. Check out his YouTube channel! The Ss at his school really learn a lot from them at home. Darren Heuring youtube.com/channel/UC5Gi7AQ… via @YouTube

Doing some nonfiction chapter book writing and my kids are ENGAGED. The learning they do seriously blows me away!

Meet Marty! 1 week in, Ss ❤️ him! He gives us reminders each morning about being our best selves and making the most of the time we have together. It's so sweet and precious how the magic of his words impact my class. Here's to the remainder of our days being merry and bright! ✨

Also sharing because it's too good not to.

Such a good reminder on this Sunday evening!

Loved getting to catch up and meet with all my old Cape teacher friends and Twitter follower friends at #EdCampSEMO today! Thanks for the great conversations, learning, and connections!

If you only knew how excited I am about this lesson I planned 2 weeks in advance, then you'd understand why it's 1:00 in the morning and I'm still wide awake. I love my job! #teacherlife

We concluded Start with Hello Week with a day of compliments. Each student received one to begin the day (you should have seen their sweet smiles 😍) and then had the opportunity to look for Ss throughout the day to write one for. These first graders have some pretty big hearts!

Love that our Bring your family to school night was student-led! My kids were so excited to show and teach their families all about a day in first grade. #afftonlearns

A3: We have school-wide rules of being respectful, responsible, and ready to learn. We have a morning routine that involves a smile and a hug, stating our school and class mission, and morning meeting, all of which contribute to our positive classroom culture. #3rdchat

A1: Relationships before everything!! I love the positive culture and classroom environment we build from day 1. We work to show kindness, empathy, and love for one another. #3rdchat

Hi #3rdchat friends! I've missed you! I'll be popping in and out tonight because I love the topic. I'm a 1st grade teacher in the St. Louis area. My yay for the year is that I've adjusted well to teaching 1st graders! They are similar yet very different from my 3rd graders.
