Making the move by the end of the month. Looking to reconnect in a less toxic space.

Rewatching @wandavision and this line still gets me. Watching after finishing Agatha All Along gives me a different perspective to Agatha's actions and her connection to Wanda.

I do not like homework as a teacher because I know the battle I endure with it as a parent at home.

I began reading Odder by @kaaauthor and playing @MontereyAq otter cam in the background while reading. It's been a great way to connect the text to a visual representation when many of my students haven't seen otters in real life. Calm vibes during reading. #cpsbest

Mini Ag Week! We clean up our pumpkin/corn field. Ss harvested what was left and worked to clean up the field. We went to corn fest and tried so many corn treats made by our 5th graders, and finished the day with fishing. #cpsbest #prairieproud

I saw The Wild Robot with 3rd graders and their families. The whispers began early with comparison to the book by @itspeterbrown and then continued after it was over. Ss recommended their families read the book to get the full picture of Roz. Lovely 🎥, 📚 is always better.

We had an amazing field trip to @ColumbiaUrbanAg last week. Ss were able to watch pollination occur right in front of them. This luffa was a perfect example of the life cycle of a plant after pollination. #cpsbest #PrairieProud #PlaceBasedLearning

It's pretty awesome to walk up to your school and see fall decorations that were picked from the garden that the students planted in the springtime. The next adventure will be to find natural ways to protect against the squash bugs #cpsbest #Ag #PlaceBasedLearning #PrairieProud

We went on a walk to explore the prairie and the pond this morning. It was great to sit and listen to nature together and share our observations. #PrairieProud #cpsbest

When you go to a school with an Ag focus of course you visit the garden on the first day. My new 3rd graders were excited to see the growth from what was planted in the spring. #PrairieProud #cpsbest #GrowingTheFuture

Just switched from teaching 1st to 3rd grade and would love to know your must have books for 3rd graders.

But why do they also sound like my first graders 🤣

Very excited that the new elementary boundary lines will increase our student numbers at Two Mile Prairie elementary starting in 25-26! I hope this means we can keep staff numbers consistent and offer two classes for each grade level 🤞🏻

We watched Story Bots and the episode featured Weird Al. A student announced that it was God's son. This led to me trying to explain who Weird Al is to a bunch of 5/6 year olds 🤦🏻‍♀️#summerschool #snacktimeadventures

For my #cpsbest summer school teachers, only 5 more summer school wake ups! The end is near and summer is slowly calling us.

One of my first graders filled their pockets with Rollie pollies during recess and then let them out in class. Day 1 of summer school is done, 18 to go!
