About Me!

Hi I'm Halee! I love drinking coffee and quality time with people I love. I'm a teacher from the middle of nowhere, and I spend my days inspiring and encouraging new educators like me! I know the lyrics to every Taylor swift song (try me!). Ice cream is my favorite food and I wish I lived in the mountains. Thanks for being here!

Let’s be friends on Instagram!

Rise and shine latte lovers, Gossip Girl here. You

Rise and shine latte lovers, Gossip Girl here. Your one and only source into the *scandalous* lives of #teachergram⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Spotted: H staying tight lipped about her grade change as she color codes her way through a maze of packing boxes and empty Starbucks cups. Tsk, tsk H - “secrets secrets are no fun, unless you share with everyone” ... isn’t that what you’re supposed to tell young children? Rumor has it that only a select handful know this secret and lucky for all you faithful followers, I’ve got the inside scoop. Are you ready for it?⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Now don’t take this personally upper elementary, but here’s how I see H’s year going: a primary colored sight word wall, watching kiddos start to comprehend the words they’re reading, adding/subtracting numbers bigger than 10, making new friends, and a small group table constantly surrounded by ... firsties!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
That’s right my loves, our coffee fanatic is headed down to the littles. Isn’t that exciting?!?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Word of advice H- don’t doubt yourself, work hard and make it happen. You can do hard things. You know you love me, xoxo GG 💗✨ (aka @thewonderfulworldofwong - THANK YOUUUU 😭💗👏🏼) ⁣

Still can’t believe I got to teach a live lesson

Still can’t believe I got to teach a live lesson for @getyourteachon this week!!! 🤗✨📚 ⁣
⁣
I love The Good Egg and I especially love the message. We have to be at our best and take time for ourselves, before we pour our all into others. (Which I know we’re all guilty of as teachers, right)⁣
⁣
What’s your favorite way to keep your head from “scrambling” ? 😉 I love going for walks, reading in the sun, and big cups of coffee ☕️⁣
⁣
Catch the lesson and find all my free printables on the GYTO Facebook page! 👏🏼 it was pretty egggggg-cellent if I do say so myself. 😎 #gyto #getyourteachon #virtuallearning

I can’t believe this is how I had to say goodbye

I can’t believe this is how I had to say goodbye to my kids, my classroom, and my first school ☹️💔⁣
⁣
We missed out on so many things and I know you all know that. You of all people get it. Spring with your class is the best. You worked so hard for so long and everything finally feels normal, comfortable, and good. By May, you’re not just a class anymore, you’re a family. Having to be away from your little family you spent so much time working on, your routine, and a safe space for so many is hard. Not being able to say goodbye is even harder.⁣
⁣
I don’t want this to be a sad post, but I like to think this entire account tells my story and this right here is one crazy memory. Most days I don’t know how to feel, but I think that’s okay. You can be afraid, but still have hope. You can be lonely, but still reach for connections. You can be happy one day and sad the next. (You can be happy and sad on the same day, too). I think that is balance. Allowing yourself to feel everything and process accordingly.⁣
⁣
So - this is me. Balancing. Saying goodbye to one chapter and excited, yet totally nervous to begin the next. That’s okay. We’ll get there. All I know right now is today. And today I’m okay. I hope you are too 💗 #schoolclosure #teachersofinstagram

AHHH! I’ve got some big, big news that I can’t WAIT to share with you. 🙊 ⁣
⁣
I’m moving!!!!!! Like, moving moving. New school, new district, new state, NEW GRADE! I have officially packed up my entire classroom and I’m moving on to new things! Which means... I’m saying goodbye to 3rd grade 😭💔 (I’m not crying, you’re crying...) I LOVE 3rd grade. It’s been my dream grade since I was literally in 3rd grade and I’ll be leaving a big, big piece of my heart here. I hope I’ll be back in 3rd someday, but for now ... it’s time for something new. ⁣
⁣
Any guesses on where I’m headed next??? That’s a secret I’ll never tell. You know you love me, xoxo Halee. ⁣
⁣
Just kidding. (Bonus points if you get the Gossip Girl references 😂) I’ll give you a hint ... it’s something I’ve NEVER taught! 😱 Drop your best guess below! ⤵️🙊 #teachersofinstagram #alattelittlehints #teachersfollowteachers

Who’s ready to Get their VIRTUAL Teach On?! 🙋

Heyyyyyy happy teacher appreciation day!!! 💗 I

Heyyyyyy happy teacher appreciation day!!! 💗 I know life is a little different right now, but I hope you know you’re still appreciated.⁣
⁣
When all of this started I remember telling my friends I didn’t feel like a teacher anymore...we aren’t doing virtual learning. I don’t get to see my kids a lot. I’m not really lesson planning like I used to. I’m not really grading like I used to. But it’s bigger than that, you know?⁣
⁣
Just like teaching is way more than curriculum and standards, being a teacher is way more than being in a classroom. It’s being adaptable enough to figure out a new way to teach and teach your kids. It’s caring about a bunch of tiny humans like they’re your own. It’s putting in long hours. It’s spending your own time and money over and over to help someone else become better.⁣
⁣
But teaching is also hard some days. It’s tears. It’s mistakes. It’s worrying about kids all night long. It’s spending your time and your money to help someone else. It’s exhausting.⁣
⁣
All that to say...I see you. Through the good and the bad. Through the distance and the virtual and the packets and whatever else. You’re appreciated. I appreciate your willingness to show up everyday, even in the midst of a pandemic. I appreciate you building relationships with your kids. I appreciate you spending your time and money on others. You’re appreciated. Whether you got a sign put in your yard or not. Whether flowers were delivered to you or not. Whether you got a handwritten note or not. You’re appreciated. Don’t forget it. ⁣
⁣
Tag a teacher friend who needs to hear this. 😊🍎⭐️ Appreciate yourself this week if you need to. You deserve it 💗⁣

PS my mug is @shop.callie.danielle and she’s having a special sale on her teacher items 😍 #teacherappreciationweek #teachersofinstagram #iteachtoo

Hey! 👋🏼 I’m Halee. I think it’s been awhile since I’ve introduced myself. I’ve given random facts. I’ve written an autobiography. But today I want to tell you about the little things that make me happy. Because right now, I think that’s what it’s about. Finding joy and happiness in the every day moments. ✨ If you don’t have a joy list - make one, sis. Save it in your notes and check it out when you’re feeling down.⁣
⁣
1. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee with a view is bonus point ☕️⁣
2. Wandering the aisles of Target⁣
3. Reading outside in the sunshine ☀️⁣
4. Quality time with people I love 💗⁣
5. A glass of wine and a cheese plate (lol) 🍷⁣
6. Photo walls. For real. Pure joy.⁣
7. Waking up in the mountains 🏞⁣
8. Traveling and exploring new places ✈️⁣
9. Running outside 👟⁣
10. FaceTiming a friend 📱 ⁣

Grateful to be in a district that supports and encourages maintaining connections and fostering those relationships over anything else right now.

Connect first, then teach - @drjodycarrington 👏🏼💗 that doesn’t have to end just because we’re not physically in a classroom together every day.

Tell me, how have you worked to maintain connections and relationships with your kids during this time? I’ve seen so many amazing ideas out there!!! 💗🌈💌 #happymail #schoolclosure
