Fall Reading Passages

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, ... 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.

This system of organization for meal planning has This system of organization for meal planning has been working really well for us, and I’m really excited about it! I started using page protectors with an Expo marker, erasing every Sunday and starting over for the week ahead. We don’t stick to the plan 100-percent (we may switch days depending on our cravings and expiration dates), but we finally found a way to significantly decrease food waste and save money at the same time. 🙂 #teachersofinstagram #willteachforchocolate #mealplanning #homemanagement

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
