Teacher friends: looking for some 2nd and 3rd grade leveled chapter books that would make good book club books. I struggle to find some low enough that aren’t Magic Treehouse etc. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

PSA: Fake nails on an elementary schooler impacts their fine motor at school. Don’t do it. 💅🏼 🚫

My 4 most difficult kids are absent today. 🤩

The Text Structure @Flocabulary slaps.

“You can do hard things!” written on the staff lounge white board. This really bothers me. Why are we romanticizing being overworked and underpaid? Maybe I’m jaded.

Just a reminder that “pay for jeans” days are bullshit. 👖

Y’all. Bridges Math is IT.

Been trying to get in contact with a student’s parent for 3 weeks. Just got an email from the parent asking for work for the next two weeks because of a family vacation. No mention of the concerns I’ve communicated over the past 3 weeks. COOL.

(For the record, I think it’s incredibly inappropriate but I have coworkers who shrugged and said it wasn’t a big deal)

Do you think it’s appropriate for a female para to kiss a female student (who feels sick) on the forehead in an elementary school setting?

@cdbennet The logic is flawless.

@TeacherSnacks Student said to me yesterday, “since tomatoes are a fruit, then ketchup must be a smoothie”.

A student of mine just tore open a ketchup packed and sucked out the ketchup and I’m not kidding when I say I’ve never been so close to puking in my classroom (and I went to work hungover a LOT my first year teaching).

Being a good teacher truly just results in more work (observations by coaches and other teachers, difficult/more students because you “can handle it”). Punished for being good.

@McDonalds providing free breakfast for educators all week is the most genuine “thanks” I’ve gotten in years. Is that sad or…?

The challenge I’m doing this month is called October and it’s where I just try to get through every day of October

I just quit a committee I (stupidly) volunteered to be on because it was unproductive and didn’t feel bad about it at all. (And all the overworked, underpaid teachers said… AMEN)

Sometimes I understand why Ms. Nelson went missing, ya know.

Ah yes. The classic “I AM reading!” but the book is upside down. Welcome back!!!
