  • Summary

  • Hi teacher friends! Welcome to the Lessons Learned Podcast! I’m Becca Foxwell—an award winning first grade teacher turned stay-at-home mama to two truck loving little boys. And I am on a mission to help teachers learn to calm the chaos in their hearts, lives, and classrooms! It took reaching burn out for me to realize that in order to teach well you have to be well! So, this podcast is for you–you spend all day pouring into the lives of your students and I want to spend each episode pouring back into your heart! Because here’s one of the lessons I’ve learned: you can’t pour from an empty cup! So, grab your favorite coffee or berry protein smoothie if you’re like me and be ready to dive into a variety of different topics both about the classroom and about life as we focus on the things we can control! From getting through hard days, to effective classroom management to remembering our way and even on how to become debt free on a teacher’s salary, no topic is off limits! I’m so excited to journey alongside you as we intentionally grow in grace and create a joy filled life together! I’m so glad you’re here!

    Time is a never-ending struggle in the classroom. Sadly, when the to-dos begin to outnumber the minutes of the day, teachers often cut out their read-aloud time. But there are so many benefits of read-alouds!

    In this episode I am sharing 5 benefits of reading aloud to kids! So much learning happens during a read-aloud! They are truly too valuable to eliminate and after this episode you’ll understand why I believe they should be the last thing to be cut in your lesson plans.

    LL 12: 5 Classroom Mottos for a Positive Classroom
    Sep 16 2024

    The words we speak to our students become a part of their inner soundtrack and help shape who they become. Our thoughts are powerful because what we think directly impacts how we act. This is why the words we speak to our students should bring life, build them up, and help them become the best they can be.

    In this episode I am sharing 5 of the key classroom mottos that I told my students every day that helped them not only be successful in the classroom, but also in life!
