If only my job was to read books all day long... (sigh) Luckily, quite a bit of my day does include sharing my love of books with the BEST audience (in my opinion!) - my students! And even better is the conversations that come along with digging into a favorite read aloud. As much as I like reading books, I also like researching comprehension questions. Maybe my ideal career would be thinking of discussion questions for book clubs, haha. I'm sure all teachers feel this ... continue reading...

In this post, I'm sharing my "formula" for success for providing my students exactly what they need for learning. Who should learn in a small group? For the most part, I do pull many of the same students based on ... continue reading...
Self Care for Busy Teachers
Self care seems like a buzz word lately... and for good reason! I'm especially thankful that this trend has found it's way into education conversations. This post welcome's back my friend and fellow teacher Jessi from Ceiri-ous Goals! I introduced her last month and she's back with a second installment loaded with DO-ABLE tips!
