About Me!

Hey! I'm Halee. I'm a new educator trying to highlight the real both in and out of the classroom. Teaching is hard, but we can do hard things. Let's figure this out together...after a cup of coffee, or two.

Let’s be friends on Instagram!

Happy #teacherappreciationweek!!! I appreciate you

Happy #teacherappreciationweek!!! I appreciate you! 💗🍎📚💻

We have been through soooo much this year and you deserve all the love, notes, gift cards, treats, and then some this week. I’m proud of the way we have continued to show up for our kids. I’m proud of the way we’ve adapted to all the new scenarios and challenges that were thrown our way. And most of all, I’m feeling pretty dang grateful that despite all of the craziness and uncertainty, this has been one of my best years yet.

I’m proud of myself for moving, finding a new job, and figuring out yet another new grade 🤪

Let us know what you’re proud of yourself for this year so we can celebrate you and drop your venmo in my stories for a chance to win some coffee on me tomorrow 🤗💗☕️

I love y’all SO much! Thanks for hanging out in my little corner of the internet. I sure appreciate you 🤗 #firstgradeteacher #iteachtoo

Stepping into the weekend like 💗✨💁🏻‍♀️

What’s everyone up to today?! If you missed it - I shared one of my favorite tips over on @getyourteachon’s stories yesterday... Nothing else will be okay until YOU are okay.

So take some time for you this weekend. That can be a walk outside, a Target run, binging your favorite show (helllooo @thecirclenetflix and @handmaidsonhulu 👀), spending time with your family, closing that computer ... whatever. Do something for you that will refill your cup. The work will always be there again on Monday, but taking time for yourself is never wasted. I can’t get these moments back ✨

So? What’s it gonna be? What’s up ur favorite way to recharge? Let us know below! ↩️ #teachersofinstagram #selfcaresaturday #teacherwellbeing #getyourteachon

Let’s ✨GLOW✨ My first #glowday was a blast!

Let’s ✨GLOW✨

My first #glowday was a blast!!! We had so much fun reviewing all of our standards from this past year. I’ve been dreaming of doing a glow day ever since my first nationals at @getyourteachon almost 2 years ago!!! Unfortunately last year it fell through because of our school closure ☹️ so this year I was determined to make it happen.

2 years in the making and worth every second.

I love stepping outside of my comfort zone and trying something new to engage and excite my students. Today was sooo worth it! 💗✨

Catch all the details on stories and I’ll be sure to save a highlight too!

Let me know if you have any questions! ⤵️ #getyourteachon #setthestagetoengage #gyto #roomtransformation

If you’re new here...hey, I’m Halee. 👋🏼

If you’re new here...hey, I’m Halee. 👋🏼 I’ve taught 3 grades in 4 years. No, I’m not crazy. Yeah, I kind of love it.

I’ve learned important lessons in each grade I’ve taught and I truly believe it’s made me a better educator along the way.

5th graders taught me how important it is to be real with your students. It helps you relate to them. I bonded with my students over Post Malone’s music and nacho cheese at a ballpark that year lol.

3rd graders reiterated my belief in relationships and connection. That’s where the real magic happens. Relationships first. Relationships all ways. 3rd grade was simultaneously my favorite grade to teach and the one that pushed me the hardest. I saw some of my absolute lowest moments during those years. But, it made me stronger.

And now I find myself in 1st grade... 1st graders have reminded me how important it is to stop and have some fun every once in awhile. It’s the little moments of joy and fun that have kept us going this year. It’s hats on Earth Day, renaming ourselves on “national change your name day,” playing silly team bonding games during morning meeting, and kickball out at recess.

If you made it this far...thanks. I owe ya a coffee someday 😘☕️💗 My days in 1st grade are winding down and I’ll be honest - I’m a little sad to be leaving. But good things are coming, and I’m excited to share that with you soon too 🤗 (don’t worry, you haven’t missed it, but plenty of you have already guessed 😉)

I’ve always said this account is a visual journal in a way of my educational journey and I appreciate that so much. This is how I want to remember first grade Halee someday. Silly Earth Day hats and all. (Thanks @sparkles_and_pompoms 😘🌎💙🌱)

What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned from the grade you teach? 💗 #earthdayintheclassroom #iteachtoo #teacherspayteachers #firstgradeteacher

Thanks for the fun Earth Day freebie @msamylemons!

Thanks for the fun Earth Day freebie @msamylemons!!! My firsties loved doing this directed drawing and writing about how they can help the Earth 🤗🌎💙💚

Do you celebrate Earth Day in your classroom? We’ll also be making @sparkles_and_pompoms’s free Earth Day hats on Thursday and working our way through @nearpod’s Earth Day lesson! Can’t wait! 😍 #earthday #firstgradeteacher #iteachtoo #directeddrawing #tptfreebie

I had a parent email me today and it ended with this sentence: “You have made such an impact.”

It stopped me in my tracks and I needed you to hear it too.

You have made such an impact, even behind a mask.

You have made such an impact, even through a screen.

You have made such an impact, even with all of the schedule changes you’ve endured.

You have made an impact, even on days you didn’t feel were your best.

I know we aren’t told that enough, so I’m passing this message along to you. @drjodycarrington said we need to love on our teachers this week and I want to love on all of you.

You did that. Thank you. 💗

#ad Who else loves doing science activities and experiments with their students?! 😍👩🏻‍🔬🧪🔭

I got to try out the Bottle Music kit from @wardsscience and it was so much fun! We work on building devices to communicate with light or sound in first grade and this activity was great to use for extension.

This kit came with one set of “boom whackers” in various notes, food coloring for the jar demonstration, a lesson plan with 2 activity ideas, and a music book for playing your own songs! So fun!

Ward’s Science Kits are a great way to help students build hands on STEM, inquiry, and problem solving skills. Check out their kits today and use code “LATTE12” to save 15% at checkout 🤗 🙌🏼 #wardsscience #scienceolympiad #scioly

I don’t really have anything revolutionary education-wise to share with you today, but all I am sayin’ is these are the BEST dang dress pants I’ve ever worn in my entire life, so I guess in a way it is education related because when you look good you feel good ... and teach good, right? 🤣👏🏼🐆

I’m not kidding. I could workout in these pants, they’re so stretchy and comfortable. I mean, I’m not gonna do that, but I could do that.

And that’s what I’ve got for you on this Monday after spring break. What good do you have? ☀️⬇️💗 #teacherootd

If the past year has taught us anything, it’s recognizing that our work can be done from many devices in many places. #ad @Logitech

@Logitech helps me plan, teach, and assist from anywhere, easily, with my own devices. School and teaching isn’t limited to the four walls of our classroom anymore. I love the Logitech Slim Folio Pro because it helps my iPad become another computer like device. It’s so helpful to have more than one screen when planning and working on resources for my students.

This case is light, provides front and back protection for your device, and even features a convenient spot to charge and stow your Logitech Crayon.

I’ve also been utilizing the @BlueMicrophones Snowball iCE microphone to help me be heard clearly when recording lessons! It can be overwhelming to try and recreate a classroom setup at home with your own devices, but just a few simple additions to your workspace can allow you to be just as effective, no matter where you are.
