  • Hi everyone! Welcome back (again LOL). I do feel like it has been 84 years, but as always, we all know what last year was like as teachers and honestly, humans in general. I love creating videos for you all and it gives me room to be creative + have some fun when I am not thinking about school, wedding planning, and 500 others things. I cannot believe it is time for school, I feel like I say this every year, but summer went by SO FAST. I really tried to take this summer to unplug, relax, and pour back into myself so I can feel strong and healthy and excited for my students this year. Classroom set up day one was for sure an adventure--have you ever locked your keys in your car before?! I am getting excited to be back though... the feelings never really fade. I hope you enjoy this video, let me know what you would like to see next!

    For old gross books you can do a project with the kids where they redecorate them by putting a collage on top. It reinforces the cover and they've put their mark on something in the classroom. 👍
