Let's play a game of “Would You Rather!!”

Would you rather use interactive notebooks or history minutes? 🤔

Here are my top reasons for each one:

Interactive Notebooks 📚

1️⃣ They encourage student creativity and allow them to personalize their learning experience.

2️⃣ They provide a comprehensive record of student work and progress throughout the school year.

History Minutes 🕰️

1️⃣ They offer bite-sized pieces of historical information that are easy to incorporate into any lesson.
2️⃣ They help students build a foundation of knowledge that can be expanded upon throughout the year.

Tell me which one would you rather use in your classroom!

Have you heard of “history minutes?” You’ll wanna save this post…

Here are a few tips to help you get started:

1️⃣ History minutes are a snapshot.

Use them to reinforce a learning objective, chunk a more difficult concept, or just as a way to add a little bit of fun to a unit!

2️⃣ History minutes come with choice!

Don’t be fooled! Just because they’re thick doesn’t mean it’s a long activity. After all, they’re called history minutes for a reason! The idea is to give you a variety of activities to so you can choose the activities that best suit your students.

3️⃣ Use at your own discretion!

Flexibility is key. Use history minutes whenever you think its the best fit! The possibilities are endless!

If you want tips and tricks on best practices for history minutes, comment “BLOG POST” and I’ll send it over to you.

Or, comment “MINUTES” and I can send you links to my pre-made history minutes for a number of different units!

Happy Cinco de Mayo, everyone! [COMMENT ON THIS

Happy Cinco de Mayo, everyone!

[COMMENT ON THIS POST]

Today, we celebrate the holiday that commemorates Mexico’s victory over France in the Battle of Puebla on May 5th, 1862. 💪🎉

Although Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's Independence Day (which is celebrated on September 16th), it has become a symbol of Mexican heritage, pride, and resilience, and is widely celebrated in the United States and other parts of the world as well. 🌎🎉

To honor this special day, people often enjoy traditional Mexican foods and drinks, such as tacos, guacamole, margaritas, and tequila, and participate in cultural events and activities that showcase the rich history and traditions of Mexico. 🌮🍹🎶

Let's take this opportunity to celebrate and appreciate the diverse cultures and contributions of the Mexican community, and to stand in solidarity with those who continue to face challenges and injustices.

¡Viva México! 🇲🇽🙌

Do you celebrate Cinco De Mayo?

Happy National Interpreter day!

It's important to recognize the critical role that sign language interpreters play in promoting accessibility, inclusion, and equity for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. 🙌

Sign language interpreters provide vital communication support for people who use American Sign Language (ASL) as their primary means of communication, enabling them to fully participate in various aspects of daily life, including education, employment, healthcare, and legal proceedings. 📚💼📜

By bridging the gap between individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing and those who are hearing, sign language interpreters help promote greater understanding, respect, and acceptance of different forms of communication and expression, and break down barriers that can prevent individuals from fully participating in society. 🌎👏

So let's take a moment to recognize and thank all the amazing sign language interpreters out there who work tirelessly to ensure that everyone has equal access to information and opportunities. 💙

Let’s be real for a moment 👀

Ever since the onset of the pandemic, even those of us who were seasoned educators have been forced to revamp our methods.

Classroom management is one of the areas that required a revamp.

Student behavior and classroom culture have shifted since distance learning, and we had to get creative!

Let us know your favorite classroom management strategy.

It might just be the thing that another educator in this group needs!

After all, this career is difficult enough! Let’s help each other out in any way we can.
