I havenโt been on here in forever. Somehow I became the head coach of a 14U softball team, during May, when itโs an 8th grade teacher busiest time of year. We should have been a 12U team. Itโs been a wild several months. ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ#Teachersof๐#teacherlife#Softball
Friends and supporters of #teachersofX and #clearthelist, let me reintroduce myself
Iโm Todd. I teach 9th grade Earth and Space Science. My school district is located in upstate NY, small title 1 district that is feeling budget constraints as we had to cut 8 teaching positions going into next year. I have been teaching for 23 years and have been a wrestling official for 29 years.
I am looking for 2 major supplies for my classroom, writing utensils (pens and pencils) and antacid tablets (used for weathering and rates of change labs). I have about 70-75 students each year and go through a lot of those supplies.
Tissues are always a necessity in any classroom and I would be grateful for anyone to help with those as well. The Legos are for decorating my classroom and tools for classroom discussions.
Thank you for your support. Whether itโs a purchase or a repost, any help or exposure is always appreciated.

Went to cheer on my kidโs friend yesterday at a polar plunge. Burrrr ๐ฅถ๐ฅถlake was 34 degrees.
No desire to do my grades, but I need to.

Hello friends! My RTI could use some more chips- I use them as a reward for progress. These kiddos give up an elective to be in this support class so I try and make it fun! Thank you โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/6Vโฆ
Spending Valentineโs Day with my kiddos and their besties at the roller rink. Friends that fall together while laughing are the best of friends. Hubs is doing homework.
#teachersofx if you teach special education at the primary level and have circle time/ whole group time using a smartboard or whiteboard- can I see a pic of your set up/ seating?
If you donโt teach this, could you please #repost to help find some?
