What are you teaching in math this month?

I am working on some new math resources so tell me, what unit are you working on in math right now? What do you need?

I’m planning some more interactive notebook activities (like this order of operations flipbook!) and obviously some more math coloring activities, but I want them to be useful for YOU!

So let’s chat. Comment below with what you need, what you’re lacking, or what you’re looking for!

Last week I shared about all of the reasons I love

Last week I shared about all of the reasons I love CommonLit’s FREE digital library. With tons of texts to choose from, amazing accessibility features, and easy-to-use data tracking tools, it’s a great literacy program for any 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade classroom!

Another thing I love about @commonlit is the support they offer to teachers. They know we need help to learn new things, too! To get you started using their program, CommonLit offers free webinars specifically for elementary teachers. In the webinar, you’ll learn how to navigate the digital library, drill down to find the right lesson for your students, and use the teacher data dashboard. Webinars are offered at a variety of different times to fit your schedule!

Lap desks are the BEST way to incorporate flexible

Lap desks are the BEST way to incorporate flexible seating into any classroom in my opinion! They’re cheap, decently easy to store, and VERY easy to wipe down and clean.

I numbered mine for the first time last year with vinyl and it was a game changer! My students were able to keep track and use the same lap desk for the entire week, before I disinfected them on Friday.

Do you use flexible seating in your classroom? I’m a huuuge fan of letting kids spread out around the room while working independently.

Are you looking for a great elementary literacy pr

Are you looking for a great elementary literacy program to engage your students in-person and virtually? Check out one of my favorites: CommonLit.org!

@commonlit is a FREE digital reading program with over 300 lessons for grades 3-5, with new lessons added weekly! Each lesson includes a text, skills-based assessment questions, optional discussion questions, paired texts, and related media links. It’s easy to search the library by genre, theme, and more to find a text your students will love! I found it so easy to find lessons that fit perfectly into my unit plans. I loved using CommonLit with my fifth graders because it was easy to find high-quality, authentic literary and informational texts I knew they’d enjoy.

CommonLit lessons also include helpful features to ensure all students can access the text, like read aloud, translation, and highlighting and annotation tools.

Sign up for your free CommonLit.org account using your teacher email through the link in my bio!

Throwing it back to my absolute favorite classroom

Throwing it back to my absolute favorite classroom project! 😍

I used to repaint and redesign these wooden stools every year for my classroom - it was always like a new fresh start with each class!

It’s the perfect summer project too, super simple but turns out so stinkin’ cute! I wrote a blog post on how I paint them and get it to last all school year - find it over at themeaningfulteacher.com ✨
