posting a bit late 😅 but our valentines week was so wholesome, filled with classroom community and frog hats 💖
I typed out “things I love about [student name]” for each student and everyone wrote something positive! Afterwards, the class got to read all the positive messages their classmates wrote for them.

I initially did NOT print one out for myself, but my students asked me to 😂 and honestly it was so sweet and gave me a much-needed positivity boost!

I’m actually going to be so sad at the end of the year, I love this group so much🥲💖

HI EVERYONE!💖 I am super excited to announce that I am joining and will be live-streaming twice a week!

Schedule: Tues and Thurs 5-6 pm PST!✨

I’ll be chatting about different topics (teaching, Disney, etc) while playing games at the same time! You can stop by anytime to chat, talk about a long day at school, or just hang out!

I’ve honestly wanted to stream for a long time, but I was too afraid to take the leap. 😭 But I finally took time to research all the tech I needed, set up, and just do it!!!

I’ll be live-streaming today at 5 pm PST!✨ Hope to see y’all there! Link to my twitch can be found here: https://www.twitch.tv/thepurrfectpencil

✨AMONG US TURKEY CRAFT✨

I always have a hard time deciding if we should do a thankful turkey or a math turkey before fall break😅

My 4th graders have been working on multiplication and division strategies, so this turkey will be the perfect way to end our unit! I love creating resources that teachers can adapt and use for their own students, so there is an editable PPT for you to make it your own!🥰

WAYS TO USE:
⭐️Addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division strategies
⭐️What I’m thankful for
⭐️Sequence of events
⭐️Sounds and blends

Even though Among Us isn’t as popular anymore, I feel the crewmate is now a recognizable character for our students! I hope this resource engages your students on the week before break! Link to my TPT is in my bio🦃

✨🪴Zones of Regulation🪴✨

My goal this year is to recognize and regulate MY own emotions as well as help my students recognize their strong feelings and give them tools to regulate their emotions in a healthy way.🧘🏻‍♀️

If our students are in the blue, yellow, or red zone, they are not in the best headspace to learn new content. It goes both ways! If we are in the blue, yellow, or red zone, it gets harder for us to do our jobs effectively. Our goal is to use strategies in our tool box to return to the green zone so we can live our best lives 😌✨

These cards show the different zones, the feelings that come with each, and a small list of strategies to help return to the green zone.

I’m going to introduce my calm corner next week where students have access to fidgets, plush, stress balls, resistance bands, and a cold compress (kept in my fridge). We definitely will go over expectations and rules so it doesn’t become a distraction, but I think it’ll be a really great addition to our classroom!

I’ve been a bit swamped with back to school this week, but let me know if you want these zone cards & calm corner sign!! I’m going to tackle a lot of TPT items this weekend💖

✨🌈24 HR FREEBIE!! 🥳✏️

My favorite thing to tell my class on the first day is that their families have homework instead of them!!

Sending a survey home is a great way to get to know your students before the school year starts getting too crazy. The survey info can be used for:
• managing behavior
• planning positive incentives
• planning amount of gifts students make for holidays
• making adjustments for students who don’t celebrate a holiday
• an insight to the student’s social media usage/ if it’s affecting behavior or academics at school
• plan/creating engaging lessons based on students’ interests

Download it for free today from my TPT store! (link in bio) And if you found it useful, please leave a 5 star review to help my store! 🙏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

back to school photo idea! 📸🌈

This photo frame has lasted me 4 years! It’s survived 3 schools and 3 grade levels🤣 I like taking a photo of my students on the first day and last day of school. I’ll probably re-make it next year, but here’s how to make your own!

1. Go to and buy a thick poster board.

2. Use an x-acto 🔪 to cut out the shape of a poloroid! I just eyeballed mine but you can use a pencil to draw out the shape. I made the sides thin to hold, the bottom larger to tape letters to, and the top is like an in-between size.

3. Use PowerPoint or to print out your grade level using cute fonts and colors!

If you like the font/colors I used, I could add it to TPT! Comment your grade lvl below if you’re interested 💖

FIRST DAY BTS ACTIVITY 🪩💖

I love starting the first day of school with this Instagram All About Me activity! It’s relevant, engaging, and an easy way to spark conversation and create connections!

As soon as my students walk in, I have the Instagram page placed on their desk along with colored pencils, crayons, markers, etc. The directions are verbally given as well as shown on the screen. Surprisingly this takes my class a LONG time since they’re actively thinking of their favorites and having conversations with their peers on what they’re doing. Then they’ll introduce a partner or themselves by sharing two hashtags. Afterwards, I go into my slides introducing me!

I get scrambled in the morning greeting students, helping lost students find their rooms, just SWEATIN’😅 so it’s nice to start the day with a calm activity. As my students are working, I’ll walk around and get to know them! I added the pronunciation so I can say their names correctly the first time!

I have two different styles available in my TPT store! They’re editable and I included versions K-8 and a non grade specific page. (I have a K example in the last pic!)💖
