We’ve got two more full weeks until spring break, and in my classroom that’s always my cue to switch things up so we can finish strong. In this Friday vlog, I’m sharing a peek into my day—starting with a few current “glimmers,” a quick update on new seats, and then jumping into team planning. I walk you through what we’re focusing on right now and how I’m keeping everything realistic and doable as the pace picks up. The big two things in this video are my STAAR prep planning outline and my brand new spring behavior management system. I talk through how I map out review and prep in a way that feels organized (but not overwhelming), and I share the materials I’m using to set up the spring behavior system before I roll it out to my students next week. I also included a free Golden Egg certificate you can edit in Canva, so you can customize it for your own class. If you’re teaching upper elementary and you’re in that “almost spring break” stretch, this one is full of simple systems that make the day-to-day feel lighter.
