Teaching With Haley O'Connor

Let's build a better world together-one classroom at a time!

Teachers Give Back

Hi everyone! I wanted to stop by today and share a project that has been several weeks in the making! When we heard about floods in Louisiana, our hearts broke thinking about all of the families that were impacted! Soon after, it occured to us that were tons of teachers and classrooms who lost everything! Not only were these sweet kiddos displaced at home, they didn’t even have a school to go to. Teachers were trying to rebuild their homes AND their classrooms! We knew we had to do something, and we started brainstorming on the best way to support teachers.

Teachers Give Back; Donating to classroom affected by the Louisiana flood

I have teamed together with some of my best friends for this project, and we are so excited to support the teachers in Louisiana! Every day for the next week, one of us will be showcasing a Donor’s Choose project for a classroom affected by the floods. There are SO many teachers that need our support, and we want to make it easy for the teacher community to rally around these amazing teachers and help them rebuild what was lost.

  • Building a classroom community is one of the most important things teachers can do and it greatly impacts our students academically! I created these units to support classroom instruction by explicitly teaching students about what we expect from them. In the same way that we provide direct instruction, activities, and practice in math and reading, I believe we should provide these same things for character education. | Social Emotional Learning | Character Education |
