Hi Reader, Well, next year (the 26-27 school year) isn't far away! In fact, I have less than a month until teachers officially return. I have already started thinking about what routines and new curriculum I will be putting into place for this new school year. The more I can plan for NOW, the better prepared I feel all year long. I'd love to hear what is on your mind right now (if anything at all). ☀️ During this period of summer, I tend to... ⭐ Start planning year-long routines: These are...

Hey there! If you're like me, you're a little bit skeptical about what really constitutes a "deal" on Amazon Prime Day.

Hey there! Our official last day of school was last Friday, and as teachers, we were done as of Wednesday. Hooray!

Hi there! I totally can't believe it, but it's our last day of school today. Where does the time go? End of the Year Gifts for Students The end of the year is already chaotic enough, so I wanted to share two student gift ideas that are actually EASY, affordable, and student-approved. 🙌 I don't always do student gifts at the end of the year, but I decided to pair them with my End of the Year Awards this year, and I'm so glad I did. This year, I did two different gifts for different classes. 🔗...

Hi there! The end of the year is a lot. Countdowns on the board (I actually have big feelings about this, but we'll chat about that later), restless energy in the air, and somehow we still need to keep the learning going. Ha! It's quite the task. Oftentimes, I see teachers use this time of year to have students write their LONGEST, most extravagant and perfect piece of writing yet... But... I'm going to be super honest, even if it's a little bit unpopular. That's a LOT to ask of kids as the...
