Shopping small this year to help spread the love t

Shopping small this year to help spread the love to small businesses and feel even better about where I spend my money and the gifts my family are getting!

And with shipping struggles and handmade items needing a little extra love before getting sent out, I wanted to start a thread here of your favorite teacher-owned small businesses!

(Not necessarily limited to teacher-owned, but I'd love to find more of those!)

Tag away and maybe I can set up something special closer to the holidays 😉

P.S. if you're an owner, TAG YOURSELF!!!! I want to know, don't be shy!

High school classroom management is a fine line.

High school classroom management is a fine line.

You can't be too childlike and you can't make it complicated but it needs to cover all the things. But the hardest part is that you need them to buy into it!

That's why I decided to to a team competition.

Each table group is a team. They have a name, they work together on work and labs, they are accountability, they're the first ones to ask your question to. You earn points together or not at all.

To earn points they can do lots of things (and the list grows as I decide on new thing we need to work on):
-put phones up in the pouches (whole team)
-turn in work on time
-get caught teaching/helping each other. Not cheating
-answering bell work together
-team competitions

Points collect and will transfer to extra credit to use on tests or their final.Then, at the end of the week the team with the most points spins for an extra prize like candy or a sticker.

I go into more details in a highlight on my bio, but I'd love to know what prizes your high schoolers love the most!

Anyone else? 🙋🏼‍♀️

I'm taking this week and next week to go back to basics for myself. Create and implement simple systems so that even those exhausted days feel positive and productive.

Let's do this.

Can we normalize the mess that comes with learning

Can we normalize the mess that comes with learning?

Friyay Lab Days are my favorite! The aftermath is a different story, but it was so worth it.

I see a mess of candy rocks, of learning lithification, of ooohs and aaaahs and "why does melted candy smell so good?!"...and I just wish those messes were celebrated more.

What's your favorite type of messy learning?!

When does your quarter/tri end?! Mines coming up

When does your quarter/tri end?!

Mines coming up next week and I've already started double checking my closeout list!

There's certain things that are better done in smaller chunks, and this list is what I accidentally saved for the end of my year once...that was overwhelming. Now, I work on these tasks 4 times a year and it's so much better!

So, when does your grading period end and is there anything you'd add to the list?!
