  • Every year in the classroom I never had a science curriculum. My wish would've been for science materials. How about you? Which would you rather have?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sharedteaching #sharedteachingpoll #teacherpoll #teachersofinstagram #instateacher #kindertribe #firstgradetribe #teachersofthegram #iteachelementary #elementaryteacher #prekteacher #primaryteacher #aussieteacher #ukteacher #teacherlife #teacherslife #earlychildhood #sped
  • Give yourself a built-in deadline of when to stop and start your family time. It's important as teachers so we don't get so burnt out. There is always, always more work to do that will be waiting there for you when you're ready to pick it back up.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sharedteaching #timesavingteacher #teacherorganization #happyclassrooms #studentteacher #studentteaching #newteacher #teacherplanner #iteachtoo #iteachk #iteachprek #iteachfirst #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram #teacherspayteachers #teacherssupportteachers #weareteachers

  • Just a few tiny tasks that you are willing to relinquish the control! Some examples would be collecting papers, cleaning up the room before dismissal, taking attendance, passing out morning work, or changing the schedule for the next day. Pick one and let me know how it went! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sharedteaching #timesavingteacher #teacherorganization #happyclassrooms #studentteacher #studentteaching #newteacher #teacherplanner #iteachtoo #iteachk #iteachprek #iteachfirst #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram #teacherspayteachers #teacherssupportteachers #weareteachers

  • A little messy play before bed. It's hard for me during the week because I always feel so tired. Seeing how much my daughter enjoys time with me makes it worth pushing through the tired. . . . . . . #sharedteaching #teachersofig #teachersfollowteachers #teachermom #teachertired #teachersofinstagram
  • Every time the weekend rolls away I don't accomplish half of what I want. I finally got this little jacket area done that I've wanted to do a couple weeks now. Loving the way it turned out and it took me all of 10 minutes if you don't count painting the little chalkboard signs.
  • Since we can't all be perfect at least we can make some progress! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ~⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What is one area of your teaching you are striving for progress?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sharedteaching #teacherquotes #teacherquoteoftheday #teachergram #kindertribe #firstgradetribe #teachersofthegram #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofig #teachersofinstagram #teacherinspiration #teachergoals
