WELCOME TO MY WORLD

Hello beautiful people! My name is MoNique and I am so excited that you are here. I have considered the idea of writing blogs for quite some time now but never got around to doing it. I share so much of my life on other social media platforms like Instagram, youtube (once upon a time), and now TikTok.. a space that makes me feel much older than I actually am (Genz, yall are killin it lol).

.

I started sharing my world on Instagram in May 2017. I knew very early that when I entered “teacher gram” I wanted the freedom to share what I wanted, how I wanted, and when I wanted.

When I created my brand I knew that I would mainly be reaching an audience of educators but I also knew that myself and my audience were far more than JUST TEACHERS. That is how I decided on the name “It’s MoNique’s World”.

When I decided to start sharing all things in my world: teaching, home, family, friends, learning how to cook (cooking with momo), chpumpkins (if you know you know 😉 )I knew that I had value to add to this community but I had no idea of what a blessing it would be.

.
.

 

What started as “MoNique’s Quick Tip” quickly turned into youtube videos, teachers pay teachers resources,
hosting at teaching conferences, presenting to other educators nationwide, collaborating with brands I love, t- shirts, viral videos, television show appearances, and even a published children’s book! Yes, yall. I’m a real-life author (that still feels weird to say).

So with all that being said, I decided that the things I have to say and share are far too important to get lost in a grid or only be stored in one space. I want my future children and grandchildren to be able to read about my adventures when I am no longer here to tell about them. I want to be able to look back at these posts and remember exciting times in my classroom and my life.

So I guess amongst many other things I am officially a blogger. Please be kind y’all. I have no idea how often I will post. I 1,000% did not look up any blogging 101 videos. Much like everything else I do I’m posting today because it felt right and I felt encouraged. I hope that as I continue on this journey I share things that you find helpful or bring you joy.

As I get ready to click PUBLISH and prepare for a Monday of teaching kindergarten I want to thank you for taking the time to read my first ever blog post.

Sending you so much love!

        I’m so encouraged by you ma’am! I was able to see your life and teaching transformation and I’m so blessed that my daughter is one of your students. She knows that she is so, so special because of you. Keep teaching the world how to be a better place.

      Although I’ve had a TPT store for over a year, you have inspired me to think bigger even at what could be considered my later stage in life! I’ve just embarked on my instagram journey(have no idea what I’m doing) but overcoming the barrier of fear is due to people such as yourself who make it look so easy, although I know it’s really not! Kudos to you and thank you for inspiring other educators to dream bigger! 💕

Less than 2 weeks and only 1 more Monday until summer vacation!

We had such a good Monday!

I was thinking about this school year and how difficult the start of it was… I had never felt so defeated as a teacher.

I’m so thankful that the year is not ending how it started.

We still have a ways to go before we are back to normal or whatever the new normal will be but I’m glad my prayers were answered.

I needed to be able to see my kids faces, to smile and laugh with them.

I craved circle time (or our version of it bc we still don’t have carpets back lol)
 and projects that were not reinvented to work 6 feet apart.

I am so thankful that although nowhere near perfect the year ended way better than it started.

My heart needed this and it gave me hope!

I really do love what I do …

But with all that being said I really really love summer and cannot wait for this “break” because really it will be more like wedding crunch time 😂

Also if you are as in love with this Jean jacket as me go and show @teachcreatemotivate some love 💕

It’s #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth so I’m partnering with @chanzuckerberginitiative to emphasize the importance of supporting student & teacher well-being as foundational to learning. #collab
It was just #TeacherAppreciationWeek, too, which is a great time to think about student well-being and how we care for teachers!
Teachers how have you and your students been feeling this past year? What are some things that can be done to support you?

somebody has to do it 💕

Ended my week sick in bed but thanks to two days of rest and meds I was able to pick up my wedding dress and find my wedding shoes along with some other wedding day essentials.

Is it July yet???

What questions do you have about the wedding or wedding planning? Ask away in the comments 💕☺️

    ✌🏽🎉 It’s the final COUNTDOWN! If you ha ✌🏽🎉
It’s the final COUNTDOWN!

If you haven’t reached your final 26 days of school counting down with an ABC countdown is always so much fun!

There are so many ways you can celebrate each day and I love changing it up a little each year.

I have a FREE ABC countdown template in my TPT store that has a pre made template with days already filled in. There is also an editable version that you can  plug in days you want to do.

This year I changed a few days like B for birthday and C for chalk day.

When my kids walk in they can see what day it is on the board and they are so excited.

My ABC countdown slides are only $1 today only!
