She has introduced me to so many new people that I can’t wait to tell my students about! 📚 Register for Book Breaks at gilderlehrman.org #historyteacher #historyteachers #teachersofinstagram #socialstudiesteacher #socialstudies #historybooks #currentlyreading

I 🩷🩷love🩷🩷 my new planner! I ordered for the first time from @berteauandco and I am NOT disappointed! It is heavy weight, the colors are 😍😍😍 and it comes with all the features I need to keep organized, like pages for notes, student records, conferences, and more. You should 💯 check them out. The price point was perfect- so much so that I treated myself to a clipfolio, too. If you want to see more, send me a DM or check out their website (they have a video of the features!) For reference- I am a middle school history teacher.👩🏽‍🏫 #teacherplanner #teacherlife #teachergram #teachersofig #organizedclassroom #historyteacher #middleschool #middleschoolteacher #elementaryteacher #socialstudiesteacher

Sometimes we can’t travel to do professional development and that’s OK! There are plenty of ways for you to learn from your own backyard. Pictured is me making my way through Asian American Histories of the United States for the second time. I’m also reading about explorers, the medieval world, and the friendship between Washington and Jefferson. And where am I? In the yard near the pool, yet I’m traveling through time and space to through the printed word. There are also a whole bunch of online options for PD (@gilderlehrman has AMAZING choices and I did one that I loved with @educurious ) if you want to learn with others and if you’re interested in chatting about books, we can talk, too! What and how are you learning this summer?? #historyteacher #middleschoolhistory #socialstudies #teachinghistory #ushistory #teachingmiddleschool #historylessons, #classroomideas #middleschoolclassroom #educationalresources #teacherpd #teachersofinstagram

I love school. I love teaching. However, @target, I’m just not there yet. I’ll fix it: 🍎hey teachers! Keep taking care of your hard working selves this summer! 🚿 💅 🛌 #teacherlife #teachergram #teachersofinstagram #teachersofig #summertime

Stepping outside of my usual American history books to read A Travel Guide to the Middle Ages. I’ll let you know how the trip is! 🩷📚 this is my choice for Book 2 of the AHA reading challenge! Our whole department chooses books to read, I the department budget to buy one of their choices, and at the end of the summer we share our reads. It’s great and easy PD. Plus, if you complete the AHA challenge, you get a @pizzahut personal pan pizza— it’s our version of @bookitprogram ! #ahareads #historyteacher #teachersofinstagram #pizzahut #currentlyreading #bookit

I first learned about Juneteenth from a student 6 years ago. She asked me if she could present the holiday to our class since it is one her family celebrated and one that not many people understood. She gave a great presentation and I learned a ton from her (I still do!). She inspired me to keep learning. Thank you, Jae! Happy Juneteenth! #juneteenth #historyteacher #teachersofinstagram

Missing my little advisor group family 🩷 summer is bittersweet sometimes. #teachersofinstagram

Pawpaws are officially in the ground! It’s deciduous, it’s native to NJ, and it’s an understory tree. It loves moist soil (perfect for the back of our yard!) and deer don’t like to eat it. The Lenape name for it is mahchikpi; in the past the Lenape ate the fruit and made rope from the bark. The seeds were also ground up to prevent lice. It’s rumored to have been one of Washington’s favorites. I can’t wait for the fruit, but for now I’ll take loving care of these precious trees so one day I can share the fruit and their story with my students!🌳 #historyteachersofinstagram #historyteacher #americanhistory #garden #pawpaw #socialstudiesteacher

The English department took students in a Harlem Renaissance field trip today to support their final unit of the year. We visited the @schomburgcenter , the Harlem YMCA, and the Harlem Meet among other sites. We read Langston Hughes’s poetry, listened to music, and felt the power of place. #historyteacher #historyteacher #historyteachersofinstagram #englishteacher #middleschoolteacher #teachersofinstagram
