Just waiting on my nephew to start talking so I can add “Auntie Chloe” to this list 💕

Send this to your teacher bestie who’s been livi

Send this to your teacher bestie who’s been living on caffeine and chaos since spring break. 😵‍💫

The students? Feral.
The patience? Gone.
The to-do list? Laughing at you.

And yet somehow, you’re still juggling field trips, assemblies, and last-minute spirit days—
making it all look effortless, even if your eyeball is twitching

You deserve a trophy. And a nap. And maybe a Target run with zero interruptions.

We’ve all had that “ugh, just give them a work

We’ve all had that “ugh, just give them a worksheet” moment... but then you remember - you’re the fun teacher.

Need easy ways to wrap up the year without losing your mind (or your voice)? Try these:
🔟 Build the tallest tower with 10 cups + 10 popsicle sticks 9️⃣ Make the strongest boat using 9 sheets of foil 8️⃣ Design a marble maze with 8 straws, a marble, glue, and paper 7️⃣ Create a balloon rocket with 7 feet of string, a balloon, and tape

…Notice a little pattern there? 😏 It’s a 10-day STEM countdown and your students won’t even realize they’re still learning.

Want all the recording sheets + directions ready to print and go?
 Comment “10” and I’ll send them your way!

They’re having fun and meeting standards. Imagin

They’re having fun and meeting standards. Imagine that.

Wanna be the fun teacher and still hit the standar

Wanna be the fun teacher and still hit the standards? 🙋‍♀️
 This catapult activity takes 2 minutes to gather materials (using things you probably already have) and your students will go wild for it (in the best way)!

Comment CATAPULT and I’ll send you the link

Things I don’t know how to do: – Dribble – Stay out of the key (whatever that means) – Make a 3-pointer – Shoot, even make a 2-pointer – Basically... play basketball

Things I do know how to do: ✔️ Keep students engaged ✔️ Make math feel like a game ✔️ Trick kids into learning (aka sneaky learning)

If you’re ready to slam dunk student engagement (see what I did there) without needing actual basketball skills...
 Comment BASKETBALL 👇 and I’ll send you the link!

Just a reminder: You don’t have to win any invis

Just a reminder: You don’t have to win any invisible awards to be an incredible teacher.

You can care deeply about your students and leave school on time.
 You can plan engaging lessons and still have a personal life.
 You can be “the fun teacher” without running yourself into the ground.

So if you’re chasing perfection and wondering why you’re so exhausted... maybe it’s time to drop out of the running for a few of those awards.

Share these with your teacher besties!

You know that moment when a student asks, “Wait… what’s a physical change again?” 😩

And you’re like… WE DID THAT IN SEPTEMBER.

Yeah. That’s why I created this science flip book.

It helps us hit all the major concepts without losing their attention.

Simple. Hands-on. Way less stress.

Need the link? Comment REVIEW and I’ll send it to you!
