If you’ve been around for a minute, you know how

If you’ve been around for a minute, you know how much I looove using interactive notebooks in my classroom. #FiveStar_Ad Usually, we use regular composition books and set them up the first week of school, but let me tell you - this Five Star® Interactive notebook college ruled is a complete game changer!

Here’s what I love about @meadfivestar Interactive Notetaking products:
- The pages for the table of contents in the very front. These pages are so sturdy and have all the places for students to write and quickly find what they're looking for.
- There is a full-size clear pocket in the front of the notebook for storage of loose cut-outs and small supplies. (seriously amazing for those things that get cut out but you just don't have quite enough time to glue them down during the lesson)
- Each page has a place for PAGE NUMBERS in the bottom corner! So simple but so necessary.
- The pages are huuuuge, with no perforations so there is a ton of room to glue/work and the pages will stay put all year!

Honestly, they are absolutely amazing y'all. I'd totally add them to the fifth grade supply list for next year to make our lives a million times easier! So tell me, would you use them in your classroom?

WE MADE IT! ✨ Today was a whirlwind of emotions

WE MADE IT! ✨ Today was a whirlwind of emotions to say the least. It’s a different kind of bittersweet goodbye on the last day when you know you’ll for sure never see your kids again.

I’m so excited for adventures to come but today had me allll sentimental. 😢 In my first six years of teaching in this area I’ve taught at two schools, moved classrooms five times, and learned a wholeee lot about myself as an educator. I’m not sure what’s next for me on the west coast but I know things will fall into place soon enough. ✨

If you saw my stories this weekend you know that I wasn’t quite sold on giving my students my address. BUT lots of you said you’d done it before and loved it - and I figure moving across the entire country makes it decently safe 🤣

The best part? The first thing my kids asked me was how to use the envelope. “So I just like, hand it to the mailman?”
“Do I have to put it in a box or something?”
“How will it get all the way to you?”

So basically, I taught an important end of the year lesson in life skills. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’ll keep y’all updated on how many I actually receive this summer!

My favorite testing “treat” - WATER. It’s cheap, practical, but still sets the tone for the day! Tape on some motivating & encouraging labels and you’re 👏🏻 set 👏🏻

I used these today for our first day of testing and even though everything else went wrong, (details to come in my stories) the water bottles turned out great! 😅

Snag a whoooole set of testing water bottle labels in my tpt store - click on the link in my bio and head to the ‘end of the year’ category! Super easy to print and use tomorrow 😍
