A few things I wish I knew when I started my caree

A few things I wish I knew when I started my career in education:

• talk less, listen more

• boundaries are your best friend

• take time to learn from your students

• search your name on every social media platform + search engine before your students do

• you don't have to stay in the classroom forever

• the loudest voice in the room only belongs to one student

• the same can be said for that loud staff member 🙃

• take pictures and save notes to remember the special moments

What would you add to the list?

If you know a new teacher / student teacher make sure to tag them in the comments 🥰

When I was in school, I remember learning about Ja

When I was in school, I remember learning about Jane Goodall and feeling so inspired by her conservation work.

There are so many eco-activists to explore with your students — many of them are young like our students and passionate about our earth.

Greta Thunberg is a prime example ... she made a huge impact before she even graduated from high school. She is also neurodivergent and regards this as her "superpower."

This lesson in my tpt shop is geared towards teaching the literacy skill of making inferences. It also has an environmental focus and includes an article about Greta Thunberg for students to practice this skill.

Nothing beats those moments when a student has a break-through with close reading 😍

I love it when my students manage to read between the lines and find meaning within a poem or text that even the online summaries don't pick up on.

Moments like these happen when we spend time breaking down the annotation process.

This resource teaches how to annotate poetry by following a 4-step process. It includes an annotated close reading of Langston Hughes "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" to model this process with your students.

I also have a new blog post up on the blog that shares more strategies and lesson plan ideas for teaching this important literacy skill.

I wanted to write a blog post about self care, but

I wanted to write a blog post about self care, but then I remembered that it's no one's job to tell someone how to care for herself.

I also realized that I feel tired and need to practice my own form of self-care too

Let me know in the comments how you're spending some time on yourself this month 💛
