I recently found this painted rock at Cancer Survivor’s Day, hosted by the cancer institute that saved my life. “Broken crayons still color.” I love that quote because it so accurately blends my identity as a teacher with the magnitude of the enormous situation I’ve faced over the course of the past couple of years. You don’t have to have… Read More

It’s becoming more and more common for school districts to have to rely on teachers, parents, and community members for funding. I’m incredibly thankful for those generous individuals and organizations of the world — the ones who supply teachers with the necessary materials required to successfully engage their students on a daily basis. I’ve been fortunate to have received several… Read More

I vividly remember being a first-year teacher — writing lesson plans on weekends, having parent-teacher conferences before school even started, and being the last to leave the building every night. I worked hard, but my students’ test scores didn’t reflect my efforts…. Read More

Fall Reading Passages

October 3, 2017

My fondest memories of elementary school include visions of teachers decked out in their ugly Christmas sweaters, gaudy earrings, and necklaces made from string lights that actually flashed on and off. I love holidays, but I’m not as brave as they were. I recognize special occasions in my own way, though: by incorporating their rich, culturally-relevant histories within the context… Read More

Ahh, Fall. The leaves are changing colors, pumpkins are being placed on doorsteps, and festive recipes are emerging from the pages of cookbooks and coming alive. It’s the season of sugar, spice, and everything nice. Personally, I love bringing those warm, fuzzy feelings into the classroom. I created this activity to incorporate multi-digit multiplication with the changing of the seasons…. Read More

Hello, world! I’m Emily and I’m a teacher who loves teaching almost as much as I love chocolate, or is it the other way around? I don’t know. Here’s what I do know: if I had enough money to live comfortably, I’d probably be okay with getting paid by way of food in some form or fashion. I could go… Read More

These little hand sanitizers are great for back-to-school goody bags. I gave them to my students with a piece of chocolate for Valentine’s Day one year. I didn’t know how they’d be received (since it’s sanitizer and all), but they were a huge hit! #teachersofinstagram #teacherspayteachers #tpt #bathandbodyworks ... See MoreSee Less

I’ve been spending some time this summer updating my existing teaching resources/materials for hybrid learning so that teachers will have digital components to complement the print versions. The Teachers Pay Teachers back-to-school sale is today and tomorrow (Aug. 4-5), so now’s a great time to stock up for 25-percent off! 🙌🏻 #teachersofinstagram #teacherspayteachers #tpt ...
