DEAR (drop everything and read!) with the whole school in the hallway. I love that they love to read! 📚 Lots of interest in historical books lately. Any suggestions?

To finish off our Chris Van Allsburg author study, I converted our classroom into a board game! The students were split into teams and had to answer trivia and comprehension questions. 📚🎲 #literacy #grade4 #grade5 #sd61 #jumanji

One of my students forgot his agenda at home, so naturally he was really mad at me for leaving his agenda at home 👀 #allmyfault #teachertwitter

Happy global school play day! We spent part of our day visiting another grade 4/5 class and playing with all of their fun toys… no screens, no batteries, just pure play!😍 #globalschoolplayday #grade4 #grade5 #bced #sd61

Temporary classroom day 4… my students think we’re living in the dark ages because I’m using a chalkboard to teach instead of a document camera 👵🏻

My classroom is being painted this week so we had to pack up and move out into a temporary classroom. Looking forward to the final product but wow, yesterday was pure chaos 😵‍💫 #movingday #byebyegreen #bced

These cool cats and the rest of our class started a Chris Van Allsburg author study this week. Everyone loves trying to spot Fritz the dog! Did you know there’s an image of Fritz in every Van Allsburg picture book? 👀 #Literature #AuthorStudy #grade4 #grade5

How do you respond to parents constantly asking for math worksheets to be sent home?! This is not how I teach… 📝

Sometimes I feel like I’m not making a difference. Then, one of my “behavior” students says, 2 hours after yelling at me, “I’m sorry I was mean to you, Mrs Hammonds.” My hearttttt 🥹❤️ All is instantly forgiven. #lovemyjob #grade5

I just finished my Term 1 comments. Phew… I typed 46 pages- this works out to be 2 full pages for each student 📝. I tried to be concise, but clear, and I hope that the parents can see how much I adore their kid(s) 💛🍎 #elementaryed #grade4 #grade5

🤦‍♀️ on the proficiency scale, my gaming lingo is still developing…
I pick up my grade 4/5 class outside every morning, and wave to the parents… usually with little to no response. This morning, a mom grabbed my arm. I was nervous, and turned to face her. She said, “I just want you to know, you’re so awesome.” Wow, I needed that! ✨🍎

My toxic trait is drinking a coffee at 4:30 in the afternoon and then proceeding to wonder why I can’t fall asleep at night 👀
