Loca Language Teacher

✨28! 🎉✨
•
•
It’s my birthday and I’m 2️⃣8️⃣ today!!
•
•
I laugh thinking back to when I was younger and PLANNED to get married at 27 and have kids by 30! 🤣🤣🤣
•
•
What I’ve learned is that everyone has their OWN path and I’m IN LOVE with mine!! 😍❤️🤩
•
•
28 is going to be a GREAT year and I can’t wait to share soon some exciting things coming up! 🤔🤩🎉
•
•
Thanks for being here, FRIENDS! & CHEERS to another year!! 🙌🏼🥂💜

✨THAT feeling when...✨
•
•
That feeling when you TEACH! 🤩🙌🏼✨🎉😋
•
•
Teaching LOOKS real different these days, but it FEELS exactly the same! 🥰
•
•
Double tap if you feel me!! 👆🏼

✨LET’S TALK PARENT COMMUNICATION✨
•
•
FIRST OFF, does this ever happen to you?! 👆🏼🤣
•
•
I’ve never sent so many emails to STUDENTS before since distance learning!
•
•
BUT LET’S TALK PARENTS! Are you 💻 or 📞 when it comes to communicating with parents?! 🤔🤔🤔
•
•
This is something I NEVER thought about when starting my journey as a teacher! 🤷🏻‍♀️
•
•
For me, I think they both have their pros & cons! I’m when I want a paper trail or I’m low key scared of a convo (let’s be real it happens!) and I’m because it’s MUCH faster than drafting a perfect email & when I know the parent is SUPER nice!
•
•
What about you? Are you or ?! What have your experiences been like?! TELL ME BELOW! 👇🏼

✨Remember the JOY!✨
•
•
With all the craziness that started in March, part of me forgot that I had SIX months of classroom time with my students! 👩🏻‍🏫
•
•
So I started to think about some FUN memories and I want you to tell me YOURS! 🤩
•
•
SIDE NOTE: Does anyone else find it DIFFICULT to remember CLASSROOM moments from this year? 🤔
•
•
It weirdly feels like distance learning has been going on FOREVER...
•
•
What are your thoughts?!

✨¡HOLA, Profe! ¡Lee éste!✨
•
•
Today is Memorial Day, a day to recognize and pay tribute to all the brave soldiers who left us.❤️🤍💙
•
•
For teachers, this day is a marker for SUMMER vacation or the END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR!
•
•
So whether you’re already enjoying your summer break or you have a few more weeks to go....THESE MESSAGES ARE FOR YOU! 💜🌎💪🏼
•
•
This was not a traditional school year by any means, but YOU DID IT...& you’re STILL doing it!
•
•
This is NOT forever. Our new normal may look different, but we will slowly get back pieces of our lives that bring us comfort.
•
•
SEEING our students, WORKING with them, LAUGHING with them. And the teachers of commend you for RISING to meet the challenges as they continue to come. WE SEE YOU, profes! ✨💫
•
•
TELL ME what is something you’re looking forward to after your hard earned summer?
•
•
You DESERVE it! 👏🏼👇🏼💜

✨Hey teachers!...✨
•

Don’t let distance learning let you second guess the LOVE you have for your profession! 💛
•
•
You’re still making a difference...💛

•
•
They might not be as attentive or learning AS MUCH as they would be in the classroom...
•
•

People will make comments about ANYTHING you do, and truthfully, those comments are just a reflection of themselves! 🤷🏻‍♀️

•
There’s a reason why things EXCITE us, so GO AFTER THAT FEELING! ✌🏼

✨Verb Flowers Google Drive Edition!✨

I assigned these verb flowers to my students this week but needed to provide an option for my students who didn’t have a printer at home. 🌼
