@NCrunnerjacky Hi Jacky- I came across your profile while searching for resources for a friend. She was recently diagnosed with bone cancer- the past week her femur shattered and she will have her left leg amputated on Tuesday. Looking for resources for her, her friends, family,

This is awesome! Great way to visualize 2.NBT.1 & 4.NBT.1!
Creating a better depiction of the difference between place values! One thousand is 1,000 x more than 1! And it’s a BIG difference! Thanks @gregtangmath for the idea! 🥰 @LightFarmsElem @LFEGrade3 #prosperproud

Just because teachers are salaried employees does not obligate us to spend nights, weekends & vacations engaged in prep work for the teaching
The Dept. of Ed could never afford to pay us an hourly rate considering what we do. They got a great deal giving us a 10-month salary

This is a student’s dad. The end of the year brings enough loss and changes for a lot of kids without losing a parent.

Another #uvlearn tradition! Claymates with fourth graders and their kindergarten buddies! @devpetty @eldridgestudio This book creates such creativity!
Huge thanks to @mrs_smoke and her colleagues for organizing a STELLAR day of learning for our fourth graders! Perfect timing while we finish up our SS assessment and National Park projects! We loved it!!!! #uvlearn
Today is “National Pick Your Name Day.” Every year, I am “Your Majesty.” A student just came up and asked me if he could be called “Crap Bag.” His parents should be so proud.
Payback. After hiding a rubber snake in a student’s desk last year she got me back this year. I HATE geese. A lot. I walk in this morning. Pictures and fake goose poop everywhere. Good one, girls. #uvlearn watch your backs.

I SURVIVED 22 COVER REVEAL! Can't wait to take your kids on this journey into the history of train travel, deadly avalanches & lives of street kids in the early 1900s. Teachers, BIG thanks to many of your kids who gave feedback on drafts of this cover. @scholastic

Hey @GoRetailGroup. I bought this for my classroom on Saturday as an indoor recess activity. I opened it (the sticker was sealed on box) & all the joints were broken. Trying to fix. Any way you can help me out?
Saving for number talks! @8to3withMrsV @MrsCloughC
I'm looking over mathematical openers in preparation for a talk, and WOW - if you don't use these, you're missing out.
