Tunstall's Teaching Tidbits

Teaching with Heart and Creativity

I Have News!

I am moving schools!!!  I have known for a couple months, but it all became official this week.  I have wanted to tell you, but couldn’t!  I am so excited about the change.  I will be teaching first grade again so I am feeling so blessed that it all worked out!

I adore my current school.  I just wish I could move it closer to my house!  The staff is wonderful and I feel terrible that I am leaving friends.   I will definitely miss it. 

At the very same time I am thrilled to be planting myself at a new school in my own neighborhood.  My own children are adjusting to the idea of switching schools.  My son will be with me one year as a fifth grader at our school, and my daughter will be starting eighth grade in a new school.  She tried out for the dance team last month and made it.  I am so proud of her.  She is so brave to walk into a new school and try out for something surrounded by girls she doesn’t know.  Amazing.  That’s not easy in middle school!!!

 Six years ago I moved from California to Texas and I was terrified of starting over in a new school.  The one thing I could depend on was that I would have a classroom full of students that were my responsibility.  I could not control anything else but I chose to focus on that classroom and my responsibility to those students.  It kept me going and helped me to “rebloom” where I was planted!!  I pray for those teachers feeling that uncertainty.  It’s that time of year.  Just remember that you can not control anything other than your amazing passion for your class.  No matter where we get placed, we can bloom! 

Aaaaaand enough of my little pep talk. 

Do you have end of the year events happening at your school?  Awards ceremonies, Open House, etc?

If you need to keep some order in the chaos, I have been working on my signs that I used in the Fall for Meet the Teacher Night. 

I made them editable, updated the fonts, added 9 different colors, and put them in my store! 

We all work so hard on classroom management…this is what I call Parent Management! ha ha!

It gives them a clear idea of what you need from them and where to go!  As a parent, I can say I love when the teacher let’s me know what I am supposed to be doing at those special school gatherings. 

If you are in need of something like this I just click the preview to check them out!

I went shopping this weekend so I am prepared for Mother’s Day for my students.  I grabbed a bag of sugar, some lemon juice, and olive oil and we are ready to make mom a homemade lemon oil body scrub for the shower!!  (and a lot of other special things!!!) To see pictures of what we did last year just click the picture below to head to that post.

 Off to the mall with daughter…these eyebrows aren’t gonna wax themselves…hope they don’t ask me to do my mustache again.  I never!!!!! (I mean I am as dainty as they come…just ask my man hands.)

      Hi Reagan, Cute stuff – that is a big deal for your daughter congrats! My daughter will be going into 8th next year and my son is in his last year (5th ) with me at our elementary school. Time goes too fast…sometimes I just want to STOP it. I love your cute organization signs for the parents. I'm in Cali, what part of cali where you in before you moved? Happy end of the year and congrats! You will love being so close to home!

      So glad that you are able to have less of a commute to work! So nice to save precious time {and gas money}. Hope your kids make a smooth adjustment to their new schools. Your parent night pack looks great 🙂

      I know this has been tough, but I am so excited that your drive will be so much shorter! Are you also going to be at a newer school? I have added your signs to my cart because I love them! I am hoping to do my Meet the Teacher Night similar to how you did it!

      Well said(on the pep talk)!
      Nothing beats teaching in a school in your neighborhood…my commute is 15 minutes! I love it! Can't wait to see how you decorate your new classroom!

      Congrats on the move!! That is super exciting. I am still waiting to here what is in store for me next year… It's so nervewracking not knowing! I am up for a permanent job though, so hopefully after this year I won't have to worry about it anymore. Yipee! 🙂

      Congrats on the new job! I am hoping to move closer to my house also. I have been at the same school for 9 years and I am terrified to leave but it will save so much time and money. I love the pep talk you gave. I needed to hear that.

      Have fun packing and closing out your year.

      Reagan, thanks so much for your positive words….I am changing grades next year, not my choice. You have reminded me why I love what I do and the one thing I can control…..I may just use your words, make a little sign for my desk and remind myself each day…..thanks, love your passion and philosophy !

      So excited for you. Change can be amazing, and now you'll be close to home. Good luck in your new school, and congratulations. Hey, it was also nice of you to mention the fact that at this time of the year, teachers often go through the uncertainty of where they'll be next year. Again, good luck!

      This is bittersweet for me, as you know! On the one hand I'm so happy for YOU, but on the other, sad for ME! I will miss seeing you around school next year, my friend!

      Teaching at the school in your neighborhood is awesome! I did that for many years and although the school I am at currently is still extremely close, it isn't my neighborhood school – which is literally 5 houses away! Your old school is going to miss you and your new one is going to love you! Change is good. 😀

      Congrats on the big move!!!! That's wonderful news! Both Brittany and I from http://frugalinfirst.blogspot.com work far from our school too! We know that someday in the near future we're going to need to relocate. We just REALLY want to stay together and REALLY want to stay in first! We're a package deal and that's a tough thing to do in a district that has very few openings. You're going to be thrilled next year when you can spend more time with your family and less time on the road! Kudos to your kids for being such troopers with the move! Congrats to your daughter on making the dance team! That's a great way to make friends at a new school! Best of luck with the move and enjoy the time you have with your friends at your current school! I'm sure your past students will miss you too!

      I was searching for this post to find out where you were teaching next year. Reading the words, "No matter where we get placed, we can bloom," allowed me to breathe a sigh of relief. I just made my first move as a military wife and am nervous to begin my new job. While I will be missing my teaching friends and my babies from my old school, there are new babies that need my love.

      Thank you for this post. It was exactly what I needed to hear.

    A week of camping in the classroom packed with lit A week of camping in the classroom packed with literacy, math, science, and writing. Each of the 5 campsites has 
A close read, response sheet, craft, science experiment, 4 themed workstations, a science experiment, and writing. Do as much or as little as you like with your campers but rest assured your hikers will be filled with knowledge all week! Target grade levels 1st and 2nd while third grade would greatly benefit from doing these campsites in partners or groups in a more independent format.
