Print, Laminate, Prep, Oh My!

Navigating the "new normal" of working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic has been quite an adjustment.  Most days, I am more exhausted than if I had been engaging 24 second graders face-to-face.  One positive of working from home (besides getting to wear comfy clothes all the time), is the flexibility to work on organizing and prepping things that have forever lived in piles and disarray.
This week, I've spent lots of time printing, laminating, and cutting enlisting cutting helpers (THANK YOU 💜 FAMILY) to prep all of the amazing centers I've been using and plan to use during reading workshop and math workshop.  It's such a great feeling when you are able to get instructional materials prepped and organized that are frequently used.  I'm so excited to have these amazing resources prepped and ready to go for my students when we are back together again!

Curious about what centers I currently use to engage my kiddos during reading workshop and math workshop?!  These resources can be found on Teachers Pay Teachers.

Challenge Accepted


Challenge Posts Archive » My Plastic-free Life

Today during our virtual leadership team meeting, we were challenged by Adam Welcome to make our voice heard as educators during this crazy time as our world is navigating the COVID-19 pandemic.  I've always loved reading other teacher blogs and watching teacher vlogs, but I've never had the confidence to start one myself.  I'm hoping this new platform will help me document my own journeys as an educator while also sharing, collaborating, and inspiring others.

Thank you for stopping by!
