This is one of the reasons @taylorlpierce and I started flexible scheduling in our elementary class. Students work at their own pace all day to complete work based on their needs.
The amount of students’ time that is wasted during school days haunts me Waiting for classmates to finish. Waiting for classmates to stop talking. Waiting for the bell to ring. Time wasted just waiting

Love giving students choice. 😍 Reading, math project, fraction practice, social studies research, and science experiment all happening simultaneously while I meet with small groups. Allowing students freedom to make their own schedules each day. 🙌🏻

So proud of my students for raising $1,038.35 for their service learning project - all while VIRTUAL! Projects included: trivia night, hobby classes, digital breakout, t-shirts. WOW! @AfftonSchools @Gotsch_learns

I was nominated by @manuelherrera33 to post a picture everyday from a day in the life of an educator. I will post without explanation and nominate someone else to take the challenge. 7 days, 7 pictures and 7 nominations. @AnnaSteffen3

My virtual 5th graders created artifacts to design an exhibit for the Revolutionary War. So many exciting things created, from Legos to cardboard to Minecraft videos. WOW! Can’t wait to see tomorrow’s exhibits. @AfftonSchools @Gotsch_learns

Today was my birthday. I have lunch with my students every Thursday virtually, and we play Among Us. Today’s version was a birthday party - notice all of the party hats! @relationshipsmatter

I love that virtual learning has opened up new possibilities. My students are raising money for the homeless by hosting virtual hobby classes AND my own children get to participate! Learning to code and drawing cartoons.

A previous student said this about me. You never fully know the difference you can make! This is why I teach! “My 5th grade teacher saved me in more ways than one. I’m going into elementary education so a little boy or girl can have someone to care for them like she did for me.”

I was excited to have a student from my class 9 years ago come observe me today. She wanted to do her first observation to become a teacher herself with me. I am so honored that she thought enough of me to want to come back and continue learning from me. My heart is full! 🥰
