    I love your ideas because they are perfect for first grade without scaring them. Even though that day is etched in my mind forever, I know my students don't have a clue about 9/11/01. They weren't even born yet and we are in Colorado, so far from NYC. I think writing letters to people who serve our country is an excellent way to approach it. Thanks for sharing, Erica!

Save and use leftover colored copies as dividers. This makes them less bulky, than if you had used binder clips.
When you near the end of the week, pull the papers from the tray and sort into the weekday drawers and centers.

Probably a little late to this Kinda Chic trend bu Probably a little late to this Kinda Chic trend but I am old 😂.
Yes, I still dress up everyday.  I only wear sneakers on dress down days or for field trips, but I am not going to judge you for what you wear.  I have seen teachers running after kids, so I get wearing sneakers to work.  I love shopping, plus dresses are just more flattering and easier for me to wear.

I have always had a very organized and clearly labeled classroom.  That is my calm.  Some FB ladies have said it is too busy but it works for me.  I have never seen a kid getting distracted by it, there is so much more to distract them…like other kids.

I started small group weight training classes @elevationfitnessli in March of 2025 and have been going regularly.  I enjoy meeting and becoming friendly with the other teachers at our 4:30 classes.  I also love that I can see physical changes as well.  Pull-ups are so hard but I am proud of my progress.

I still love teaching after 24 years.  I don’t love how it has become harder than it was when I started (bigger class sizes, more behaviors, more curriculum to cover, etc.) but I still love connecting with my students and helping them grow.  We can retire at 55 years old, as a tier 4 teacher, and I think I will be ready then to go.  I am lucky that I have been able to stay in the same grade for almost all of those 24 years!

I have been a TpT seller since 2008 and a blogger since 2011!  Thank you all who have been with me over the years and welcome new teacher friends!

The first few weeks of school are all about modeli The first few weeks of school are all about modeling and practicing routines.  These are routines that will be reinforced all year long.  We can’t expect students to know how we expect them to do things, even simple things like walking in the hall without explicit instruction. 
🏫I teach my students to walk on the third tile from the wall when in line.  1. This gives them something to concentrate on while walking.  2. This keeps their hands off the walls.  This keeps their hands away from artwork and away from germs.  If you are a teacher you know first hand what students can do to walls 😂.
My students earn incentives for compliments from other teachers about their behavior.  They are so proud when they earn. *Of course, if you have students with special needs you would not expect everyone to walk on the third tile. Teachers know their students and what they are capable of.
