The Tailored Teacher, LLC

Week 1 of fall semester brought us hands-learning, traditional learning, and a fun science experiment on displacement.
We are so happy to have our kiddos back!

😂 ESPN has jokes friends.

29 years ago, Bulgaria's Viktor Krum made the controversial decision to catch the Snitch and end the Quidditch World Cup final on his own terms 🧹

The finish gave the victory to Ireland, 170-160.

Before our Conroe ISD friends went back to school last week, we tried out a “TikTok Cake Challenge”—make a cake using ice cream, flour and sprinkles. We give it a 2/5. It was edible but not great.
What’s a fun end of summer thing you did with your kiddos?

Parents Night Out is THIS Friday! Outdoor Art Party
🎨🌈😎
6-9pm,$20/child

Digging for ice age dinosaurs today. This is always a crowd favorite, regardless of the age of the children!

You can also free zoo animals or other plastic toys, for a fun summer activity.

Please weigh in!

To anyone in our community with any of these kinds of loss, we see you. We love you and hold space for your pain. 💜

Psst. If your kiddo is signed up for Amazing Artists this week, they need a clean pair of white socks to tie dye!

Nothing like a mid-day dance party to boost our spirits! It might be too hot to play outside but we surely know how to have a good day all the same!
How are you beating the heat and staying cool but active?

Comic Animation is under way! We have computer animation, tracing, and how to videos have helped us create our main characters today.
Do you have an artist at home too? What are they working on right now?

Happy Fourth of July! May it be a day of celebration of our current freedoms.

Ohhhh this is the message. Yes!

Quote of the Day

This may not look like much, but community meal times are a great chance to practice some additional conversation and social skills for our kiddos. Watching them improve is awesome.

Lots of fun at the splash party today! Laughter, water, friends, and fun.

What does regulation look like? Sometimes, it’s sitting on the floor and being a human pillow for a kiddo with big feelings. 💜 whatever it takes to heal and validate.

He’s HOME!!

Hey friends. Not a normal post. This is Ms. Lindsayann, though. My dog Toby, who has now become beloved by all the students, is missing. He got out of my gate in Lexington Woods about 45 minutes ago. Please help spread the word. He’s 15 and blind. He needs to come home. My phone number is on his collar.

Hawaiian leis (without real flowers), “suitcases” for the week’s travels, and Greecian mosaics are only some of the adventures we’ve had this week as we are around the globe!

Happy to shAre this knowledge again. Happy Juneteenth!

On this day in 1865, many enslaved African Americans learned of their freedom. We commemorate today by celebrating Juneteenth with our friends on Sesame Street. Ask your students, how are you celebrating ? https://to.pbs.org/3cRkoj3

Which planet 🌏🪐is your favorite and why? Tell us in the comments.

We blasted 🚀 into orbit yesterday, learning about the planets and their placements, along with some reading about specific planets.

When I look at this, at first, all I can see is the crumbs and books on the floor. But then, I refocus and I see a sweet boy exploring a book. He may not be able to read, but he can admire the pictures.
Building a love of learning takes a lot more than just teaching a child to read. Reading has to feel accessible and enjoyable to build that love. Perhaps we one step closer with Mr. V now that he is engaging on his own terms.

We interrupt our regularly scheduled camp content to show you KITTENS. We are helping to foster some kittens and they are certainly getting lots of love!

Minecraft days 2 and 3, come along and see!
We are drawing, building, scaling and cooperating together!

Minecraft Day 1 is oh so much fun!

Thank you to all those who have served, and we pause to remember you.

Today, as we all go about our “holiday” festivities, please pause for a moment to remember the reason we have a holiday. Memorial Day is to remember and honor the work of those who protected us and did not return home.

Hey friends, it’s Lindsayann. This is the obligatory last day of spring semester selfie. (Yesterday)
I have to say, this has been the absolute best school year in all the 9 years of owning The Tailored Teacher. There have been so many ups and downs, good and bad choices, along the way. Thank you to everyone who is still here (or back here) supporting, uplifting, and letting me love on your kiddos. I cannot wait for summer camp and the new year!!

End of school distracted us! BUT…if you’re looking for a date night out at the end of a WILD week, we got you tomorrow night!
PNO, 6-9pm! Details in the graphic. PM or text 832-510-4741 to sign up!

Look at the good hand grip this little leftie has!
Does your child need fine motor support this summer? We do that!

Not education related, but saw this shared recently. This schedule is for the movie theater in Tomball! Nothing like cheap movies in the air conditioning to add a little summer fun.

What other low cost activities are you doing this summer?

Our Spring Showcase for our Honeschool Lab kids was a huge success today!
We had everything from fairy gardens to ancient pirate ships, dancing and more. All of our kiddos worked so hard on their projects and we couldn’t be any more proud!
We have one more week of lab before we kick it into summer camp mode.

Nothing like catching a sweet moment by surprise! One of our teens was reading to one of our littles. Nothing like building the connections to have these moments. ❤️

This is not to ruffle feathers.
If you have struggled with “labeling” your child, please take the time to read this full post. What a valuable perspective.

Happy Morher’s Day to all the women in mothering roles in our community of families. May it be a day filled with grace for yourselves, love, and joy.

Happy Lefthanded Day! Mr. M is pretty left hand dominant at 5 years old. It’s so cool watching how he learns things differently.
Do you have a leftie in your family? Tell us below!

Out of an abundance of caution, due to the flood warning, we are
cancelling all services today since our street floods.

What you give power to, your mind believes. Also, the mindset we believe is shared with our children. If you put yourself down in front of them, don’t be surprised if they start to do the same themselves.
Feed your mind and your child’s mind the positive thoughts!

It’s officially “learn outside” season! We are enjoying writing, drawing, and just being outside. Miss C decided to create a whole island scene!
How are you changing up your learning environment?

Dear Autistic people, my peeps with ADHD, those with both or those whose brain is different in another way,

Your brain is needed in this world. There’s a place for you. Don’t give up just yet, ok? Keep going. Rest where you need. We want you here. You can sit by us.

Keep trying. 💘

Keep looking for your keys you’ll find them. 🔑

No need to try new foods, they’re all gross. 🥖

Blankets. Yes. ☕️

Your favorite book or TV shows sounds like a great idea.

I’m super proud of you and your gentle self. Loud self. Quiet self. Excited self. However you’re showing up today is great because you’re showing up, wow!

Looking good, babes.

Love,

Bunmi 🌹

What’s a win for your family or kiddo(s) this week? Tell us in the comments!

When a student’s dogs come during pick up, we have to go say hi! That’s just the rules. Haha.
