In honor of prime day and school starting soon, I’m sharing my wish list for my room this year 🥰 #clearthelist #5thgradeteacher https://t.co/ZhlJoKLCvN

We have the BEST buddy class, ever!! They made signs (and wrote them letters) for both my reading classes, wishing them luck tomorrow! #montypride #Ismiledsobig #sweetestthingever #madethe5thgradersfeelgood @haileywalker2nd you rock!!

My own peanut came and spent some time in my classroom for ‘bring your kid to work day’. He read our Nellie Bly poem for SOL review. I love how respectful and kind my 5th graders are to my own kinder baby. #montypride #hecanread #almostallmybabiesinoneroom

Enjoying this AMAZING weather with my afternoon class!! Can we spend the entire day outside? #sunshine #montypride #mtes

Our class is SO excited for their classmate and friend who won the Montclair Spelling Bee today! Congratulations!! #montypride #5thgraderocks #montclair #soproud

Cocoa and cookie celebration in room 121! I can’t wait to do this again later with my other group.

Code Orange means we get to hang out on zoom!! We may have been on for 40 minutes longer than expected, but we had the best conversations! AND they even asked about their work. My teacher heart is full! #mtes #montclair #montypride #5thgraderocks @montclair_elem

I have the best group of kids this year! My co-teacher also did this for her home room kids. #nobodyleftout #Ilovethesekids #mtes #montclair #montypride #thankful

Lunch bunch! Loving me some lunch bunch time with these sweet kiddos!! #mtes #montypride #lunchbunch

When your own baby selects “help a teacher” as a reward and chooses his Mamas class! My class kids were so excited for him to be with us. He read us 3 stories! My 5th graders were blown away by this Kinders reading skills!! #montypride #mamapride #mtes @MrsVazquez8

This past week, 7 brave students got up and gave a speech in front of our class! They all gave incredible speeches and I’m so proud of them. Congratulations to our class representatives! #montypride #5thgrade #bravestudents

Today my amazing 5th graders completed their first reading responses. I tasked them with writing 3 sentences. Some of these kids HATE writing. My teacher heart is SO proud! #mtes #theyrock #lookattheseresponses #montypride

I’m so incredibly thankful that I get to spend time with both these groups everyday!! It’s only day 7 of school and I already love them all! I can’t wait to see how they grow this year. 🥰 #mtes #montclaircardinals #5thgrade

Very focused stamina building happening in 5th grade today! #mtes #room121rocks

Group 2 of the day working on their team building writing assignment. #mtes #writing #thelaughtermeltsmyheart

Todays writing challenge-team story writing. 1. They were given a list of words and have to write a story in order of the list. 2. They can’t use a word until it has been used in its correct order. 3. The story has to make sense. 4. Each student needs to write a sentence. #mtes

Team building! They needed to write a sentence without touching the marker. I truly enjoyed watching and listening to this challenge! My teacher heart was so happy! The laughs!! #winning #lookatthosesmiles #5thgrade #mtes

I love that our kids can come together as a team and share goals for this year!! They do so good together. 🥰

This is an intense winners battle of “team word challenge”. The winner took it by 0.5 of a point. #5thgrade #healthycompetition #makewords #lovetheseboys #mtes #monty

@ArtforKidsHub thank you!!!
