Hi Reader, I’ve got a lot to share this week so I’ll keep things short and sweet. I’m having a blah 😔 kind of week and am really looking forward to eating at one our favorite Mexican restaurants tonight. My family's favorite dishes are chicken tostones and the chipotle chicken burrito. I hope whatever is on your menu, it’s delicious. Anyway, here’s the menu of Lit Science's best selling beginning of the year science resources that are currently on sale for 25% off: Creating Classroom Rules...

Hey Reader , As a born-and-raised New Yorker now living in the South, I’m still not used to how early school starts here. My husband headed back for pre-planning last week. Yesterday was my daughter’s open house. And here I am thinking, but there’s a whole month of summer left! 🙃 That might have been true when I taught in Brooklyn, but here in the metro ATL ’burbs, the kiddos are heading back - some as early as July 31st. Whether your school year has already begun or you're still soaking up...

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,...

Hey Reader, It’s snowing in the South! As someone born and raised in New York, snow always brings back fond memories of bundling up with my cousins and playing outside. While my daughter was also born in New York, she’s being raised here in Georgia. This morning, I had the joy of bundling her up and making snowy memories with her. As I snapped a few pictures, I couldn’t help but reflect on how we all respond differently to unusual situations. Some of us dive right in to play, like my...
