I GOT A JOB
I have accepted a 1st-grade position at my dream school (aka the school I went to as a child)! I will be a co-teacher and the classroom is going to have flexible seating.

I made a post a few weeks ago about a lesson that I did that went surprisingly well. It was called The Oscars lesson. The activity is essentially just “write a dialog” but disguised as “we’re all going to the Oscars next week and you have to present a script.” And it worked shockingly well.
