Several years ago, we received the news that habitats had been added to our science curriculum. We loved the idea of taking our students around the world to learn about plant and animal life around the globe! What we didn't expect was that it would take our science curriculum to a whole new level that our students would love. We've received a lot of questions on how we use our Habitats of the World Bundle throughout the year...So climb aboard our plan book...Buckle your belts and let's take a ... VIEW POST

What’s Your Trick? Terrific Tickets and Class Raffle
Ahhhh, let the Countdown begin! Summer will be here soon and it will be a time of rest and relaxation for all of us tuckered-out-teachers. A time of not getting up and out the door in the morning and not having recess duty or bus duty or not attending staff meetings and not conferencing with parents and not worrying about homework, reports, projects, lunches, etc. etc. etc. BUT, until then-what on earth do you do with these Summer Spastic Students??? We are pulling out all our tricks to ... VIEW POST

Listen Up! We’re Listening!
We're in the middle of an epidemic, teacher friends. Yep...An Ignoring Epidemic. It's bad. Really, really bad... ...Wait...We're sorry...What did you say? We weren't really listening to a word we were just saying... We just couldn't sit back any longer. We couldn't listen (yes, really listen) to one more Mommy or Teacher friend say, "It's just our society now." or "It's just kids nowadays." Nope. Sorry. We are teachers and our job is to teach. If they need to learn how to listen, we need ... VIEW POST
