The 1️⃣ thing that matters most to me when working with students is providing lessons that are engaging. I want students to enjoy learning and reading. What matters most to you in the library?⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #elementaryteacher #teaching #classroom #classroomideas #education #teacher #teacherlife #teachersofinstagram #teachersofig #iteach #iteachtoo #igconnect4edu #teacherspayteachers #teachergram #teacherquotes #teacherresources #primaryschool #elementaryschool #librarylife #distancelearning #librariansofig #schoollibrary #elementaryteacher #librariansofinstagram #librariesofig #librariesofinstagram #schoollibrarian #tpt #stayingcoolinthelibrary⁠ ⁠

How do you advocate for your library? You need to

How do you advocate for your library? You need to show just how valuable the library is to your school and provide evidence to back it up. Here are my tips: ⁠ ✅ Run reports on circulation statistics ⁠ ✅ Keep track of how many students use the library and what students are learning about, ⁠ ✅ What are the day-to-day tasks that no one knows you are doing but are vital to keeping the library running. ⁠ These can be especially helpful if you have a principal that does not understand the role of the library program. All of these things can go a long way to showing your administration (and others) the importance of the library. 📚⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #librarylife #librariansofig #schoollibrary #elementaryteacher #librariansofinstagram #librariesofig #librariesofinstagram #schoollibrarian #teacherspayteachers #tpt #stayingcoolinthelibrary

What are some library trends you want to try? What are some you know you want to avoid? ❌ One trend that I am avoiding is incentive programs to get students to read. One example is Accelerated Reader. I know it all depends on how it is used, but I have seen more harm come from the use of AR than good. Do you agree or disagree? ⬇️⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #elementaryteacher #teaching #classroom #classroomideas #education #teacher #teacherlife #teachersofinstagram #teachersofig #iteach #iteachtoo #igconnect4edu #teacherspayteachers #teachergram #teacherquotes #teacherresources #primaryschool #elementaryschool #librarylife #distancelearning #librariansofig #schoollibrary #elementaryteacher #librariansofinstagram #librariesofig #librariesofinstagram #schoollibrarian #tpt #stayingcoolinthelibrary⁠ ⁠

Do you struggle with your students getting "ants in their pants" if you don't allow them a break here and there? Add some variation and strategies into your lessons so they can get out that extra energy, and focus on the subject at hand. One way I do this is through story time videos and brain breaks. My new blog post today has great resources to give your students a brain break! 🧠 Click this picture in my bio to head to the post!⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram #iteachreading #tpt #schoollibrarian #homeschool #teachersoninstagram #iteach #schoollibrary #childrensliteracy #picturebooks #booksbooksbooks #childrensliterature #classlibrary #childrensbooks #fortheloveofteaching #readalouds #readtogether #classroomlibrary #picturebooksaremyjam #booksarefun #kidslit #booklove #literacy #stayingcoolinthelibrary

How long does it take you to plan out your monthly

How long does it take you to plan out your monthly lesson plans? It used to take me forever. 🙈 Since I had no set curriculum or pacing guide, I could teach whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. And that’s great, but when you’re new, you don’t know that your third grade teachers do a biography project in March or first grade covers fairy tales in May. Now I have a monthly overview of the topics I want to cover for each grade and lesson plans already written for most of them. 👩🏼‍🏫⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram #teachersofig #iteachtoo #teacherspayteachers #tpt #iteach #teachers #teachersoninstagram #homeschool #teachersofinstagram #elementaryteacher #tpt #iteach #teacherlife #stayingcoolinthelibrary #librariansofig #librariansofinsta #librarylife #schoollibrary #librariansofinstagram #schoollibrarians #classlibrary #childrensbooks #fortheloveofteaching #readalouds #readtogether #classroomlibrary #picturebooksaremyjam #kidslit

Something I am wanting to incorporate into my lesson plans is more social-emotional learning strategies.
