Hey Reader, It's December, and we all know what that means... no, not just the onslaught of holiday spirit and hot cocoa, but also the "joy" of juggling classroom activities, lesson planning, and, oh yeah, the occasional daydream of a long winter's nap. I feel you, as someone who bounces between being an entrepreneur and a classroom teacher, I can relate to the "Winter Wonderland Whirlwind" we're all dancing in right now. Is it a waltz, a tango, or a cha-cha? Who knows, but we're dancing...

Hey Reader, Did you survive the Thanksgiving "rush to finish" everything? It was a long week filled with many different activities at school. I know my students had a blast?

Hey Reader, It's AMERICAN INDIAN & ALASKA NATIVE HERITAGE MONTH! I truly believe that we build a global classroom by learning about other cultures. I was so excited to share the book My Powerful Hair by Carole Lindstrom and Steph Littlebird with my class. It's a POWERFUL story! We ended October learning about Cultural Appropriation using this resource. It's great to use if you spotlight different cultures in your classroom. Our social studies curriculum introduces Native Americans of the...

Hey Reader, I hope you are enjoying your long weekend. We deserve a little break. I'm not doing A LOT of planning, but I did want to work on some rubrics for my students. Here is one you can use if you're working on the Writing Process. This is a safe space, right? Well, I haven't explicitly taught narrative writing. We are just now starting narrative writing because I've spent so much time on building writing stamina and learning the writing process. Having said that, I'm glad I did. I think...

Hey Reader, This weekend was really productive. I was finally able to plant my fall garden. The weather is cooling down (thank God!) so it wasn't so bad planting my broccoli and cabbage. I hope you enjoyed your weekend, too. ANYWAY…what I really wanted to talk to you about was testimonials. Every business needs them, especially small businesses...like really small businesses...like mine.😬 So if you’ve ever bought anything from me and you thought it was half-decent (or better🤞🏽)or if you've...
