A Look at My Week Instagram Style

Instagram has become one of my favorite ways to share what is happening in my classroom. Here are a few Instagram photos I shared this week my IG account.

Recently, I became one of our school's writing coaches. The program we are using has some scripted activities but allows us to teach creatively and to use practices that best support the needs of our students. My kids are loving the TPR that is included throughout the unit.

Do you ever wonder what you look like while teaching? Here is a snippet of a recent writing lesson. #iteachk #iteachtoo #teachersofinstagram #thmpride #teachersfollowteachers

Instagram has become one of my favorite teacher resources for "must have" items. I am using these Scoop Rockers with a few of my kiddos who have difficulty during whole group lessons on the rug. I am finding that they are more focused and less disruptive.

When the Scoop Rockers you have been seeing on IG match your classroom colors you know it was meant to be. #iteachtoo #flexibleseating #thmpride #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram

This bulletin board is one of my favorites spots in my classroom. I can easily change out what is on display. Currently, hanging are our first research reports. I love that I can integrate technology but also continue to do age appropriate arts and crafts.

We completed our first research reports. On the blog I explain how I use hyperlinks to let my students independently research via #googleclassroom. #iteachk #iteachtoo #TechinK #teachersfollowteachers #thmpride

I think that the most teachable moments sometimes come at the spur of the moment. My students were captivated by this lizard. It became our classroom pet for the day.

The class found this lizard at the beginning of the day. It became our writing topic. #teachersofinstagram #iteachtoo #iteachk #teachersfollowteachers
