Rethinking+More

I realized today that 5 years ago, I came back to work with my resignation letter in hand and believed there was a high probability I’d never walk back into a classroom.

I’m grateful today for the colleagues who told me one hard year wouldn’t mean they’d all be that hard. I’m grateful for new opportunities to learn, explore outside my comfort zone, and find my happy places.

I'm so excited (and admittedly terrified) to announce my official Rethinking+More website and online store!
My TeachersPayTeachers store will remain open and active, but I am happy to finally have one website to house all of my work and have more autonomy in managing it all.
Some element of running my own store to house my teaching resources has been in the works for a long time. I've spent the last several years learning how to develop resources and curriculum through much trial, error, research, and feedback. It's been a goal of mine for a while now to branch out on my own, and I'm thankful to my husband for the encouragement and guidance.
The store is still being updated, but this last year's favorites have already been added. It turns out transferring all I've developed over the last several years to a new home is not a quick process😅.
✉️If you sign up for the newsletter, you'll receive updates as I add more resources, announcements, and discounts as I get it all up and running.
If you have teacher friends or family who would benefit from student-centered, digital and printable middle/high school resources, please share!

🎤WHOAAAA WE’RE HALFWAY THERE🎤

…through EOC prep 🤪.

We’re at that point where our white boards are gross, we wear jeans everyday, and we keep up with a daily countdown. Motivation is dwindling, so activities that keep us awake and on the move are our best friends. Aka stations, and more stations.

These 8 Gilded Age and Progressive Era stations are in my store right now as a bundle, but let me know if you’d like the first 2 for free :).

Yes I am as tired as I look because I gave my last final, posted all my grades, and done all the other paperwork. This means, other than some classroom cleanup, my first semester of high school is D O N E.

First semester in a new school and new grade level; first semester in my alma mater district; first semester in special education; first semester living 3 minutes from work 👏🏻

I always thought middle school was my place until this year. I think high school has my heart. 11th is my sweet spot. There have been some major learning curves, but I haven’t woken up 1 morning wishing for a different place to be.

Middle school and my past districts have taught me a lot, and those lessons have proven to be helpful in this new chapter. This has by far been my most easy-going school year, but I’m thankful for the last 5 because I don’t think I would have appreciated this one as much.
