Fabulous Figs

Finally got some pool time with Mr. Figs! ☀️😎💦

Our little duckie visitors 🦆 absolutely LOVE our pool… unfortunately, the pool maintenance that follows all their visits isn’t nearly as fun. 😂 Between cleaning, balancing chemicals, and waiting for everything to be swim ready again, we’ve been missing out on our own backyard oasis!

But hey, better late than never. 🙌🏼 Soaking up the sunshine, making memories, and enjoying a little midweek relaxation together. ☺️❤️

Happy… wait, what day is it again?! 🤪😜

These name tags are always a student favorite! 😍

And if some of these names look familiar…you might be my kind of reader. 😉📚🏒

Teachers 🤝 📕 BookTok girlies…spotting these names immediately. 😆

Teacher summer break checklist:

☑️ Sleep past the first alarm
☑️ Starbucks without drinking it cold ☕️
☑️ Pedicure appointment booked
☑️ Cycle class and yoga 🧘‍♀️🚲

Cheers to rest, relaxation, and finally putting ourselves on the lesson plan for a change! 💕

If there’s one thing that’s survived every classroom makeover I’ve ever done, it’s my objectives board! 😂

I’ve gone through all the teacher decor phases over the years; zebra print, chevron, bright colors, boho, and everything in between; but this washi tape objectives board has stayed with me through them all.

It’s simple, affordable, easy to customize, and keeps our daily learning goals organized and visible for students.

As much as I love my students, I’m not going to miss setting 20 alarms, rushing out the door, and surviving on teacher caffeine. 😆☕️

Right now I’m enjoying slow mornings, colorful Flair pens, and the sweet sound of absolutely nothing on my alarm clock. 😴☀️

Teacher friends, I hope you’re soaking up every second of your well-deserved summer break! You earned it. 🎉💛

Student Supply Bins 😎👌🏼📚
One of my favorite classroom organization systems! These labeled supply bins make it easy for students to grab, distribute, and return materials independently. The visual labels are especially helpful when supplies end up on the floor or in the wrong spot; students can quickly identify where everything belongs. 🙌🏻

A simple system like this saves so much time throughout the school year and helps keep our classroom running smoothly. ❤️

POV: You survived another school year. 😂✌🏻🍎
No bells. No lesson plans. No duty schedules. No swallowing your lunch in 4 minutes.

Just sleeping in, drinking HOT coffee, moving my body, soaking up sunshine, making memories, and slowly becoming a human again. ☀️
Teacher friends, welcome to your Summer Recharge Era. You earned every second of it. 🫶🏼

Now tell me… which square are YOU? 😂👇

I kept seeing these cute sketchbook-style portraits everywhere, so I had to jump in on the trend! 🥹✨

I uploaded a few of my favorite photos; me, my furbabies, and my husband; and asked ChatGPT to turn me into a sketchbook-style character. I’m obsessed with how it captured my teacher life, dog mom life, and Mrs. Figs energy. 🤍

Let me know how yours turns out if you try it! 🙌🏻🥰

Tool: ChatGPT
Prompt below:
Make sure you upload your favorite photo OR photos.

Please draw the character in the image, (name), in a free and stripped sketch style. On a bright white background, freely distribute full-body drawings, face close-ups, small scribbles, full-body sketches, and chibi/deformed versions, so that the page conveys the character’s humor and personality. Don’t make it look like an organized character sheet, but like a sketchbook full of information drawn freely by an illustrator and stacked together. Use what ChatGPT knows about me from our conversations, including my personality, habits, strengths, quirks, profession, and overall vibe, to imagine how an illustrator would interpret me as a character.
