Turn and Talk Tips

Turn and Talk Tips

July 31, 2019

This is one of my favorite strategies to teach my classes- and my life as a teacher has become so much easier since I implemented a few key steps. My teaching partner and I experienced our very first Turn and Talk as participants in a workshop by Bobb Darnell in 2008 and we’ve been using it with students and adults… Read More

Nonfiction Text Strategies

Nonfiction Text Strategies

May 28, 2019

Science news articles, social studies chapter sections, primary source documents… These are all fabulous resources to use in our classrooms! We have to make sure however, that we are teaching students how to consume the content. While our students may be able to read the words, comprehending the content within these content heavy texts requires a skillset that we need to teach explicitly.

Daily ELA Warm Ups

Daily ELA Warm Ups

May 4, 2019

As a middle school ELA teacher, I became aware very quickly that there are NOT enough minutes in a class period to possibly address all of the Common Core State Standards. After experimenting with a variety of different lesson planning and scheduling strategies, I landed on this. Whether you call them warm ups, bell ringers or do nows- those first… Read More

Fact Fluency and Number Sense in Sixth Grade

Fact Fluency and Number Sense in Sixth Grade

April 17, 2019

A while back I took stock of what we were doing as a math department to improve kids’ math fluency. It seemed that every year we had a chunk of kids who came up to sixth grade with amazing fact fluency. We had another chunk who fought with basic addition and multiplication much like struggling readers fought with multisyllabic words…. Read More

3 Steps to a Classroom Reset

3 Steps to a Classroom Reset

March 4, 2019

Sometimes we all just need a classroom reset. Do you want your students to behave or do you want more than that? If you spend all day managing behaviors, you are EXHAUSTED by 3:00. I know!!! I’ve been there. It takes so much mental energy, so much executive functioning to anticipate every fire that might start- and to put out… Read More

Classroom Success Stories: Running on Autopilot

Classroom Success Stories: Running on Autopilot

March 4, 2019

In a well-run classroom, the teacher is not doing all the work. He or she creates the conditions for learning, plans the lessons, tracks student progress. These are major tasks, no question about it! Students though…

Sometimes, I need an easy out. And I’m shocked every time that it works. I really do want reading for them- really! But, I also know know it’ll be a little like when I turned the car seats front and couldn’t snack freely without sharing anymore. 😂😂😂What’s your best #momhack white lie??#momhumor #teachermomlife #teachermom #feedingkids #bedtimebattles #christmastradition #reuse #recycle #frugalmom #lies #whitelies #momtruth #momtruths #icecreamfordinner ...

🐣 I try to hide the eggs within plain sight because as a kid, there was ALWAYS an egg (or two) discovered months later. I guess my kids are more observant than I was, because they find them all in minutes!🤒We are isolating and quarantining and eating alphabet soup by @dreenaburton today. I have all of the lasagna parts, but not enough energy to make it happen! I can’t tell if I’m tired from getting up with a sick kid, worrying about getting sick or being the Easter bunny at midnight 🤷🏼‍♀️ #momlife I guess… Happy 3rd pandemic Easter! Is this thing over yet?!?!#teachermom #veganholidayfood #veganholidays #pandemiceaster #teachermomlife #mentalloadofmotherhood #toddlerfood #vegankids #puppetry #pancakes ... See MoreSee Less

What kind of grammar crime is driving YOU crazy these days? Currently, so am obsessed with making sure students know exactly what words make up contractions. I had a few too many run ins with “could of” recently, and I am afraid it’s going to be around every corner... in every piece of student writing. 😬Every Tuesday is Typo Tuesday, in my ELA warm ups and although I love them all... My favorite is the blank EDITABLE slide that I can customize on the fly when someone writes something RIDICULOUS on a Monday like, “they could of gone to the game.” 🤷🏼‍♀️ (Editable slides in bundles😉)So, if you are a Grammar & Conventions crime fighter, like me- you may want to check out the ELA warm ups in my Write Solutions TPT store. Link in stories too! #writesolutions #igconnect4edu #iteachtoo #tpt #elateacher #middleschoolela #iteachsixth #donow #iteachsixthgrade #iteachsixthgrade #iteachseventh #tptfs #iteach7th #iteach8th #iteacheighth #seventhgrade #iteachwriting #reflections #growingwriters #literacyactivities #classroommanagement #middleschoolteacher #middleschool #grammarpolice #grammarcrime #typotuesday #bellringer ...
