đź§  đź§  End of the year overwhelm . . . gone!


Hello Reader,

I’ve been working hard updating and polishing some of my most popular resources and prepping new video walkthroughs to make your planning even easier.

It had me reflecting on how much we can get done — even at the end of the year or during summer planning — when we have the right support.

Honestly, I couldn’t do it without the teachers who share what they need most and the students who remind us why we’re doing this in the first place.

I want you to know that I’m in your corner, too.

That’s why I’ve put together a Teachers Pay Teachers special #endofsydeals offer on two of my keystone species resources — so you don’t have to build your lesson plans from scratch.

During this special hashtag sale (from now until June 5th), my Keystone Species Guided Notes and Keystone Species Writing Prompts (both differentiated and scaffolded for diverse learners) are on sale for just $1. After that, prices go up to $5 and $3.

🎥 Video walkthroughs for both resources are coming soon to make them even easier to use.

I want you to know you don’t have to do this alone. I’m right here with you, Reader.

Thanks for all you do,

Jessica

Hello Reader Last week I finished a Natural Hazards unit centered on the 2011 tsunami in Japan. As we wrapped up the unit, new events were unfolding - Hurricane Melissa, flash flooding in NYC, and Typhoon Fung-Wong in the Philippines. Incorporating those natural hazards in class helped students link the science to real-world systems and decision-making, including where responses were both effective and where they fell short. When natural hazards are in the news, consider the following as you...

Hello Reader, In my very first year of teaching, I did exactly what I thought I was “supposed” to do. I stood at the front of the room and lectured students on the rules. It was boring for them, boring for me, and ended up being my worst year for classroom management. Since then, I’ve learned a better way: creating classroom norms with students. In my new blog post, I share: Why collaborative classroom norms actually work How to guide students through the process step by step A ready-to-use...
