This Week in Class, I learned a lot about:
  • signals, routines, and relationships—both with my students and with my co-workers.
  • using lights and music to manage classroom behavior
  • realizing I’ve officially become the “old Black man at the job,”


it’s been another week of growth as a second grade teacher. I share the fun and joy of experiencing an in-school field trip with my students, how keeping the lights low helps create a calm environment, and why using music like James Brown’s Make It Funky brings energy and connection into the classroom.

I also talk about modeling writing for my students, the importance of clarity, and how relationships drive learning.

On a personal note, I even got my first Christmas gift from a coworker—which made me realize how special it is to be part of a supportive teaching community after so many years of working on my own.

Being a new teacher and a first year teacher means figuring it out as I go, making mistakes, and learning what really works in the classroom. Every week I discover more about how to balance structure with flexibility, and how building strong relationships makes all the difference for my students.

If you’d like to support my classroom, my Amazon wishlist is linked below. You can also adopt my class to help fund experiences and resources beyond what’s on the list. Every bit of support makes a huge difference for me and my students.
