Here's a creative alternative to First Chapter Fri

Here's a creative alternative to First Chapter Friday: wrap up some books from your classroom library in kraft paper, write a short teaser, and let students unwrap their surprise 💫

This activity implements student choice and allows students to explore "First Chapter Friday" independently - it's especially engaging for older students because of this.

For extension activities, students can pair with a partner and offer their critique of the first few chapters. They can also re-wrap their books and spice up the synopsis with their own thoughts!

And since it's never too early to talk about the holidays I'll just put this out there: this makes for a great gift-giving activity too 💝

Citing using MLA Format is tough for middle school

Citing using MLA Format is tough for middle school and high school students.

Although there are several MLA style guides online, it can still feel like learning a new language.

When I teach MLA Citations, I often treat it as if it were a new language – I want my students to become “fluent” in MLA so that they can read and write citations effortlessly.

It doesn't need to be difficult to teach MLA citations. Read the latest post to see a super easy strategy.

never have to sit through your parent-teacher interviews with a stack of student work or a pen and pencil again.⠀
⠀
I love keeping track of all of my data using digital apps, but sometimes the free ones are a little lack-luster. Luckily there are so many creative ways to utilize Google Slides. ⠀
⠀
With a little effort, you can turn plain documents into interactive notebooks and binders with hyperlinks to your students' data, sample work, and anecdotal notes. ⠀
⠀
This digital parent-teacher conference binder comes with most of the effort done for you. It includes different templates with options for student-led conferences, areas of strength and growth, student work, and student comments.⠀

Hi!! Just here to tell you that I hope you're having a great week and that you're doing great 🤍

You work HARD and deserve to set time aside for things that make you happy -- whether that's going for a walk, dressing up for a date night, or watching some Maid on Netflix.

Try this: think of something fun you can do this week and write it down in your planner. Most days these types of plans are not our priority, so it probably won't hurt to prioritize it this time around.

Show up to that plan the way you show up for everything else in your life.

Drop your little happy moment below to share some inspiration 💫

(mine is some live music for the first time since pre-pandemic 🥲)

Share this with a teacher friend who is having a tough time this year - Mind Over Mood is an incredible and affordable tool for managing your mental health.

This book came to me as a recommendation from my therapist and I can't recommend it more. It explores the relationship between our moods, our environment, our behavior, and our physical bodies. Our environments have changed (and continue to change) beyond our control, and even those of us who've never had health challenges might notice changes in their bodies, their behavior, and our minds.

This book explores anxiety, anger, sadness, and shame and offers CBT strategies and worksheets to measure and manage these different moods. You navigate the book based on which moods you're experiencing to personalize your reading experience and offer you the tools you need first.

I know this year has been harder than ever, and I know not everyone has the time and resources to receive 1-on-1 support. While there is no replacement for therapy, this book serves as a great placeholder. It's also a great way to go deeper with any forms of support you're currently exploring.

Feel free to DM me if you have any questions, want to learn more, or just need to chat 💛
