Today our parents surprised our entire staff with ready to bake dinner for our first day of school. 🩷🙌😭 I can’t even. This is the most thoughtful gift. Sharing for anyone who is looking for ideas on how to love on a teacher at the beginning of a school year.

We created tableaus today to show the different parts of the water cycle - evaporation, condensation, and precipitation! @SpotswoodElem

We made the water cycle in a bag today! Students got to take bags home (minus the water) to add water and hang on a window and watch the water cycle happen this weekend!

Our personal hygiene closet has been amazing for our 5th grades! We are running low on deodorant and shampoo! If you feel the urge to donate I have attached our Amazon wishlist! amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls… @SpotswoodElem

Guilty! 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

6️⃣4️⃣ Hours. On Monday mornings, this is how long it has been since some kids have had any positive interaction with an adult. Whether you are a teacher, bus driver, custodian, principal, or _______, how you greet your kids in the morning matters. Be the light! #multiplyexcellence

Investigating how/if solids dissolve in water! #matter @SpotswoodElem

We saved Fred! Learning about science procedures and how to plan an experiment, getting ready for our matter unit! @SpotswoodElem

Combined math and social studies lesson learning about bar graphs and diversity this week! (Yes we labeled the axes later). So cool to have many different places represented in our class @SpotswoodElem

Going into this week trying to remember this!

@Scotch my laminator spontaneously broke mid-use yesterday. It was a gift for my first year teaching two years ago. Help! How do I fix it?

3rd grade rocked the scavenger hunt today! @SpotswoodElem

@AutumnDvorak I’m moving from 5th to 3rd this year! #clearthelist2022 amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

We had a great time on our field trip to the @ScienceMusofVA today! @SpotswoodElem

Collecting Penny Data today to practice finding mean, median, mode, and range! How many pennies can you stack before they fall? @SpotswoodElem

Investigating what makes a peep dissolve in science last week! @SpotswoodElem

Had a lot of fun collecting data in 5th grade to create our stem and leaf plots today! @SpotswoodElem

What if our rubrics were wheels instead of linear progressions that give the impression of learning coming to an end? A colleague brought me this idea and I can’t stop thinking about it.

I’ll be wearing a tutu for teaching tomorrow! Katie-Fairfax #VenmoMe
