  • Let’s try this again.... since the first one I posted had a spelling error on the letter board 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ . . I’ve kind of been all over the place for the last eight years, but I’m excited to start year 9 in fourth grade! I’m pumped to be on a BOMB team (we need team nickname, @trish_cummane), learning a new curriculum, and becoming the best teacher YET! . . Is it too early to start planning for next year when there are still 12 days left in this school year? 🤓 . . #teacher #teacherlife #teachersofinstagram #iteachtoo #iteachfourth #iteachfourthgrade #iteachfourthgraders #fourthgrade #teachersfollowteachers #teachersonsummerbreak

  • Today is a special, special day where I get to celebrate all the people that I love most. First, Happy Mother’s Day to my own mother, who taught me that I could do anything I wanted as long as I put my mind to it. She has always had the attitude that there’s no problem that can’t be fixed and she is the always the first one asking how she can help. Second, Happy Mother’s Day toy beautiful sister who is a learning and growing and doing a fantastic job at one of the hardest roles in the world. I love watching her be a mom, because she’s so good at it. She is patient and thoughtful, fun and understanding. And finally, Happy 60th Birthday to my dad, who is the best dad and the best Pa I’ve ever seen. He, like Mom, has always taught me to find a solution and stop worrying about the problem. He’s always there for having fun, even if it means letting your daughters paint your nails or playing dinosaurs with a two year for the thousandth time. I love you all and I’m so lucky I get to call you mine! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
  • I had an amazing day graduating and spending time with my family. I am so proud of how far I’ve come in accomplishing my goals and it makes me feel better about how far I’ve still left to go. . . Still, when all was said and done, I came home to face my next obstacle and became immediately anxious and overwhelmed. I hit a mental block and I stayed there for a while. . . I CAN do hard things. I have done them before. I went through college three times. I bought a house, by myself, at 22 years old. Together, Justin and I have scrounged and saved and paid off thousands in debt. I CAN do whatever I put my mind to, just like Mom and Dad told me, way back when I was knee-high to a grasshopper. I can accomplish amazing things, I just have to believe in myself. . . I wrote in my #starttodayjournal this morning when I woke up, but I was feeling anxious and overwhelmed, so I did it for a second time just now, before I fall asleep. I love how calm, focused, positive it keeps my mind. I can’t wait to write it in again tomorrow. . #starttodayjournal #thegsaclub #starttoday @msrachelhollis @mrdavehollis #rachelhollis #girlstopapologizing #girlwashyourface #gratitude #dailygratitude #dreams #dreamer
  • Sisters night out. We needed this times 1000.
  • Hi, please excuse my while I go cry my eyes out. 😭😭😭😭😭
  • I switched schools three years ago - the summer before I got married. It was a tough move because I LOVED my students and I felt guilty leaving them, but I knew I needed to make the move. My friend who teaches fifth grade at my previous school had her students write a letter to a former teacher. Two of her students chose me to write to - and then she shared their notes with me. . . Yes, these made me cry. NEVER take for granted the impact you have on others and the power of compassion, empathy, and kindness. It has been three years since these students sat in my second grade classroom. Three years since I’ve seen them, but our connection is so strong it seems like just yesterday.
  • This isn’t the best picture BUT I had to show you a shirt I made this week. Every Friday, as my students walk out the door before the weekend, I say to them: “Goodbye. I love you. Have a good weekend!” For some of my students, it’s just words. For some of my students, it’s THE words that helps them get through 2 or 3 days of chaos before coming back to the “calm” that is our classroom. In fact, when I wore it yesterday (we’re off school today), one of kids read it, his eyes popped open wide and he said, “But... but.... that’s what you say to us! Where’d you get that?!?” The joy on his face was priceless. Now, I have a Friday T-shirt that will remind them all day. . . I have never one regretted saying I love you to my students because I DO. In every sense of the word, I love them with my whole self and would do anything for them. . . #teachersofinstagram #teacherlife #friday #ootd #fridayfashion #aplfonts #cricutmade #cricut
