I am beyond pooped and 3 days in my first year teaching and I was so drained today after school but then a kid who is blind that is in my class said he didn’t want to leave because it was so fun! Literally his comment gave me life! Made it so worth me being tired!

Can you share or let us buy the page about what you do on the first week of school? I am going to be new to teaching 6th. I really like how you broke everything down.

This is amazing. What platform are you using for your lesson planning?

I love your ticket drawing idea! I have some questions: what kinds of things do you give tickets for? Also, do you empty out the bucket after the drawing, or do the remaining tickets stay in for the next week?
