DIY Goodbye Gifts On the Fly



Here is a Simple Goodbye Gift for My Students I Made On The Fly

 My student teaching has come to an end and with that comes many tears, and you guessed it...DEBT! Needless to say, the struggle is very real and I am on very tight budget.


However tight my budget may be, I felt compelled to get my Montessori students something to thank them for allowing me into their lives. 

Given that they are Montessori children and I was in a fully Montessori school, I had to keep the gifts simple and practical. This is because the real gift comes from me teaching them, doing my best work and encouraging them to to do theirs. 

PENCILS...What is more practical than a pencil???

Lime Green is my Shiz, and it is perfectly gender neutral. You may click on the image above to buy these Yoobi pencils for just $2.99 at Target

LABEL MAKER!

Every teacher needs a label maker, regardless of what grade or subject you teach. Organization is key!  

My label maker turned these regular pencils into customized gifts for my sweet students....

Yes, they are alligators! 





 

My students were so impressed the pencils had their names on them, they said they would keep them forever!




As teachers, student teachers, future teachers and residents of America, we all know that pencils are a hot commodity and they disappear like your keys at 7am on Tuesday.


Keep Cute and Carry On!

How to rock your student teaching supervisor evaluaiton!

Student Teaching Supervisor Evaluations

Here are the three outfits I wore for my
 student teacher supervisor evaluations. An observation like this is an awesome opportunity to wear outfits you always want to wear, but tend to save for something "special" or "important." Well, here is your opportunity! 

EdTPA Humor....

I am starting to get an 

       edTPAche!

I am at the point during the edTPA where nothing makes sense and I don't know where I am. I mean this literally, as yesterday I found myself writing my edTPA while in the bathtub. 
I had to stop, wipe the soap off my eyes and say, how did I get here!  

Photo of me, after the life changing bath I took today.... 
I realize that I got to this point of feeling like I have the time for a comforting bubble bath, because I finished Task 1 and I started to get cocky. 

Task 2 is manageable and borderline enjoyable, but Task 3, Task 3 is out of this world overwhelming!
 
Instead of bathing in my own tears of edTPA despair, I used my pruning fingers to make a few Kanye West memes... 

 


What is "after edTPA?"
 



Instead of my typical sign off, I say...
