Excellent question.

After teaching three days with COVID and the flu, two days of resting has felt so lazy 😂 I’ve decided I’m not a great patient. I started sourdough cinnamon rolls last night and baked them this morning, and I can actually smell them!

Woke up from a COVID/flu meds nap to Ozzie draped across my chest 😂 #cats

Official report from the doctor…COVID and Flu B! Im shocked that it’s both—my home COVID tests were negative. I’ve been good about getting COVID vaccine boosters and flu shots, but hadn’t gotten them yet this school year.

Made it through the day because it was easier to go in than make sub plans so early in the year. Crashing on the couch, but wanted to say thank you to Andrea for the chargers! These will be perfect for our new devices, especially since we don’t get any extras!

I received an Amazon package with items from my wishlist, but in my 5th day of school sickness haze, I forgot to snap a picture. If I make it school tomorrow, I’ll be sure to post! 🤧 (5th day and a sore throat and zero energy😷🤒🤧)

@prisonculture.bsky.social will you share my classroom list? My new class of 5th graders is amazing! They’re already working hard & earning lots of points in our school’s behavior incentive program! These fabulous kids deserve some fun rewards for their hard work! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Thank you, Desiree, for the headphones for my students! I only had 7 out of 22 that brought usable headphones, so these will help a lot! #clearthelist #thankyou

Index Card Castles is my favorite back to school activity! They have to complete different challenges, and they have to do it silently! It’s a magical few moments while all the groups are so focused and building 😊

Day 1 ✔️ Had groups sort cards with place values and put them in order. This sent one kid over the edge because I said there are place values smaller than the ones place. Apparently decimals are a lie and I’m a trickster, which is what was shouted as the kid bolted from my room 😂😂😂

This will be my 15th year teaching 5th grade. I’ve had 3 different classrooms- 1st one for 9 years, 2nd one for 2 years, and this will be year 4 in my current one. #edusky #teachersofbluesky #teachers

Palestine had a booth at the Ethnic Enrichment Festival for the first time, so they also got to participate in the traditional clothing fashion show. The audience erupted into applause and cheers when they were on stage. It was a beautiful moment!

I asked parents to write their student a little note for the first day of school and they are absolutely the sweetest!!! This is a tradition I’ll continue every year! Former teachers wrote for the few that didn’t come to Back to School Night, which is also sweet!! 🥺

Back to School Night for year 15!

On a rough day, I received this package from a donor, Brittany Loughman. I definitely needed this reminder that there’s still good left in this world. Thank you, Brittany, for helping out a smile back on my face today! I know my kids will love these math games!

Definitely feeling like quitting after that professional development today. They’re forcing us to teach certain things by using a script, which isn’t teaching at all. I wish they’d told us this last year so I could’ve applied elsewhere. I told Nathan we’re skipping the staff party tonight.

Received some disappointing news from our local Invention Convention. They’re no longer accepting all entries, they’re sending a limited number of invitations based on how many people sign up. They only sent this to us…the only title one school that entered last year in a sea of privileged kids.

Teaching partner and I tackled this beast of a bulletin board today! It’s in our school’s cafeteria space, and will be used to keep track of golden spoons earned by each class! Golden spoons are earned by being respectful, safe, and kind in the cafeteria.

Damn it, Taylor…I wanted to go to bed early tonight…

My students are receiving new devices this year, and we need more chargers. These blocks are on sale for a limited time for $20! They each have space for 3 chargers, which would make our limited outlet space much more efficient! #clearthelist #teacherwishlist www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Hi there👋🏻 I'm a Pre-K teacher hoping to clear a few more items for my classroom. My list includes things like books, arts & crafts supplies, a marble run, and more. A repost is always appreciated! Every little bit helps🫶🏻 www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... #clearthelist

Bluesky family 5th graders in MN are in need of novels. Grade level will be doing a novel for a reading unit this year. 50 more copies are needed to provide for all 75 students. Every book makes an impact! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Thankful for our first official day back being a work day! Got time to work in my room and completed lots of little jobs, like taking off old labels and putting on new labels!

@kanekavi.sheshed.rocks Can you share? While I’m lucky to work in a district that values technology, they don’t supply extra chargers for students to use at school. Extra chargers would make a huge difference for those days students forget to charge at home! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Gearing up for back to school - switching classrooms and grades/teaching assignment - and dreaming of adding some of these items to my classroom. Sharing my #clearthelist for anyone who may be in a position to help. Thanks! www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/...

Looking to see if there’s a 🧞‍♂️around looking to grant a wish✨ I teach 1st grade at a title one school. I would love your help with this contact paper to cover my desk. There is rust on the front of it. Any help is appreciated 💙 Thank you🥹 www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Thank you, Reuben Smith, for the five decks Math Stacks games! These games are perfect for groups to play, and really help them develop flexible thinking as they build stacks of similar numbers. My students will definitely benefit from playing these games!

Thank you, Laura Hall, for the five decks of Fraction War! My students loved this game last year, and the one deck we had was very raggedy by the end of the year. Five decks will allow more groups to play at once, so everyone can have fun learning math!

@archeryfan93.bsky.social Can you do a quick share of my #teacherwishlist for my birthday? Went ghost hunting w/friends last night, got flowers, gifts, & Mexican food for lunch! I’ve added USB-C headphones & adapters to my list for student devices. #clearthelist www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...
