Confetti in Class

Making copies for your teammates is one thing… standing at the copier forever waiting between every set is another. 😂📄

And if I’m making 100+ copies, I definitely don’t want to stand there counting pages into individual stacks. 😅

My little hack: run a blank sheet of paper between each set. That way, everything is already separated when the copies are finished!

The blank pages can be reused, and I save myself from counting and waiting at the copier forever. 🙌

Save this for your next copy marathon and send it to a teacher who needs this hack! 🍎✨

Teacher OOTD lineup from the last few days! 🍎✨

Because if I’m going to be tired, teach all day, and find my way through fifth grade… I might as well be cute doing it. 😂💛

Which look is your favorite? 👇

One thing I didn’t fully anticipate about moving from 3rd to 5th grade? I’m not just learning a new grade level—I’m learning two. 😂

To teach fifth-grade math well, I need to understand the fourth-grade standards, what students should already know, and how those skills progress into the fifth-grade standards.

It’s a whole new level of planning, learning, and connecting the dots.

But honestly, that’s part of what makes teaching so rewarding. 💛

I may be finding my way in fifth, but I’m learning more every day.

Teachers who have changed grade levels—what’s something about the transition you didn’t expect?

A little August treat because… kinda busy. 😂💛

These first few weeks of fifth grade have been exciting, exhausting, humbling, and full of learning.

I’m still finding my rhythm. Still figuring things out. Still making progress.

And honestly? I’m learning that I don’t have to have it all figured out to know I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.

One day, one lesson, and one little win at a time. 🍎✨

Here’s to giving ourselves a little grace while we grow. 💛

Finding My Way in Fifth

Learning volume is better when students can see it, build it, and explain it! 📦✨

We’re getting hands-on with volume and making those cubic units come to life.

Because sometimes the best way to understand the math is to build it! 💛

Would your students love this? Save this idea for your next volume lesson! 📌

Back-to-school outfits are officially back! ✨ New grade, new classroom, new year… might as well have some fun with the outfits too. 💛

Be sure to follow along to see how I’m finding my way in fifth! 🍎✨

From an empty classroom in May to this in August. 🥹✨

After 8 years in third grade, I’m officially starting a new chapter in fifth—and while there’s still plenty I want to add and change, I’m so happy with how it’s coming together. 💛

The classroom reveal is just the beginning… now it’s time to see what life in fifth grade is really like. 🍎
