This is our weekly ✨INGREDIENT PREP✨ and it’s what works for us! We plan out our dinners, and then prepare ingredients to grab for lunches/snacks throughout the week. We have “meal” prepped in the past, but this saves me a TON of time in the kitchen and leaves room for options throughout the week! What do you to stay on track throughout the week?? #mealprep #mealprepideas #teachersofinstagram #iteachtoo #momlife

ARE Y’ALL STILL HERE?! If so, thank you for sticking around despite my absence. I have a life/work update reel coming soon, full of valid excuses. In the meantime, here is a picture of me from last year I never posted 🙃. Just wanted to say hi, I’m doing great (thank you to those who have reached out in my absence), I hope YOU are doing great, and I MISS YOU! Talk soon xx

We LOVE a fresh pack 💖✨ #teachersofinstagram #iteach2nd #iteachtoo #flair #teacherlife

✨THE PILE✨ People think I’m crazy, but I’m tellllllling you, give. it. a. chance. I get super overwhelmed by clutter in my classroom, and this method makes it quick and super manageable! STEP 1: Put every single little thing that is not in its home in the middle of the floor. Every pencil, paper clips, and piece of paper STEP 2: Stare at the pile and feel heart rate start to escalate….cuz clutter. STEP 3: Take a deep breath, and start putting things away one item at a time. STEP 4: Watch pile diminish and eventually disappear. BAM! Clean classroom. Before this, I felt like I was constantly putzing around and just moving clutter from one spot to another. Now, everything gets out in the middle to ensure it goes where it belongs!! Enjoy and thank me later 😁

I am SO excited to use Klassly this year for parent communication. It literally feels like a private Facebook feed with only parents from your class 🤯. I’m able to post photos, take polls, ask questions, and update parents as much as I’d like! Serious game changer! There is a version that is 100% free, BUT if you follow me, follow @klassly, AND tag two teacher friends in this post within 24 hours they will unlock a FREE full subscription for you!!! Run, don’t walk!

Our first day was Thursday, 8/11 🙃 I forgot HOW MUCH there is to do in the beginning of the year!! My mental to do lists are never ending, but I have never slept better. Exhaustion aside, this year is reminding me why I LOVE my job. Things are starting to feel “normal” and we are already having a ton of fun. How was your first day?!?!? #backtoschool #teachersofinstagram #teacherlife #iteach2nd #iteachtoo

Classroom setup is nearly DONE! I wanted to share my three staples and serious game changers during setup this year @ryobitoolsusa 1. Cordless Glue Gun….cordless. Need I say more? Serious life saver. 2. Hand vacuum. A staple in my home as well. Can’t live without it. 3. LOUD portable speaker. Good jams make the time fly. We all know that to be true. Have you started setting up yet?!? Are you done? Also when do you go back?! Only 12 days of summer left for me 🫠

#ad It is that time of year!! Go check out my new video to see me prepping ALL THE THINGS to get ready for classroom setup! There is a lot of building, creating, labeling, and most importantly, shopping! As a thanks to Staples.com for sponsoring this video, I will show you a MASSIVE haul so you can shop their back to school items as well! Link in bio :) @Staples #fwd2school
