Next stop: Australia!

I now realize that this flag is upside down. But honestly, that’s how my teaching day went. I’m so exhausted.

Teaching holidays and traditions is one of my absolute favourite units to teach! I love the the wonder that it brings. I love how we can include diversity to our classroom and introduce holidays that students may not have been exposed to before!

Do you teach holidays from around the world?

This holiday elf is bringing us gifts from around the world! Trickster isn’t an ordinary elf.
She travels around the world every night to bring surprises as we learn about different countries and their holiday traditions! Tomorrow we are visiting the Netherlands. Trickster will show off her wooden shoe, her Holland pencil crayons and take us on a fun adventure!

I know people hate this little elf, but the joy and engagement that it brings my kids while we learn about many holiday traditions makes my heart so happy!

Fun fact: kids combust out of their seat randomly

Fun fact: kids combust out of their seat randomly and there is no physical way to stop it. Trust me. I have told them “all four on the floor” about 93 billion times, yet the chair somehow just randomly tips over! Weird! How do they randomly just fall out? 😂 These moments usually end in a giggle and an “I’m fiiiinnnneeeee!”

Tell me I’m not alone...

So, I DID A THING! I bought myself a new car! It’s a 2021 Blazer RS and I am so happy with it! It’s has everything I was looking for and then some!
With all the crazy stress and anxiety I’ve been feeling lately, this is a very welcome treat to myself. She makes me feel happy.

Now, what should I name her?
Do you name your vehicles?

Oh hey! It’s me! The very exhausted teacher who stays up all night with insomnia and still manages to pull it together enough to survive the day!

Let me be honest. I’m struggling. This picture is bright and fun, but on the inside I am having a hard time. Covid teaching is so hard. It’s not even the teaching that’s hard, it’s all the extras that I need to compact into my tiny school time window, or it won’t get done and then future Holly is even more stressed out than current Holly.

The list doesn’t end. I have a decently small group of kids that attend school every day which I absolutely love. I have WAY more time and attention to give to those littles and I have seen some amazing jumps academically! That’s one of my biggest happy factors from all of this. If I had this size of a class every year, teaching would be so much more kick ass than it has been - because let’s be honest. We thrive on progress.

Unfortunately, that’s only half the picture. The kids that are at home, as a whole, are not progressing as quickly. Little work is being done and returned and I worry every day for the academic practice that they are losing daily.

I just want things to go back to normal. I want to see ALL my kids every day. I want to have all the experiences that we have had in the past. Hopefully one day in the future all these extremes will diminish and we will be able to be together again. 💕
