Perfection. Some lessons were messy, some units ran long, and some ideas stayed in my head instead of the classroom. And that’s fine. The major successes for me are not measured by students' content knowledge but social growth, independence, and curiosity.

Q3
What’s something you’re letting go of as this school year wraps up—physically, mentally, or emotionally?

We use “Before & After” prompts, for example What did you think about ___ at the start of the year? What do you think about it now? It’s powerful to see how their thinking shifts over time.

I take 30 minutes a day in May to document what worked—and what definitely didn’t. I make voice notes or quick lists while it’s still fresh. Future me always thanks past me for the clarity. 🩷

A3 YES! I’ve used AI to give me ideas for student reflection prompts and generate conversation starters. (ChatGPT pro and Perplexity, mindful of my prompting, token usage, and environmental impact)

A2 I thread review and retrieval practice into collaborative games (like '3-2-1 with a twist”), then give students choices for knowledge demonstration. Keeps the energy up without losing depth. 🦩✨

A1 My students build Legacy Portfolios. A mix of their favorite work, learning moments, and letters to next year’s students. It’s joyful and meaningful.
