Hi Reader, We are finishing up our second week of summer, but we have been having SUCH great conversations on social media and sharing some super fun book recommendations that I wanted to share a few new updates with you! Whether you are still finishing up the school year or enjoying a much-deserved break, I hope you're thriving! Mary ❤️ If you're still teaching... Where are my East (and some West) Coast Teacher Friends!? I know so many of you are still in school, so I wanted to share my EOY...

Hey there! Our official last day of school was last Friday, and as teachers, we were done as of Wednesday. Hooray! I know a few of you are like me and already fully into summer mode while others are still counting down the days until break officially starts (you've got this!) 😅 So if you’re still in survival mode right now, feel free to save this email for later and come back to it when you're ready (and in the meantime, don't forget to grab your End of the Year Awards! I'm obsessed with all...

Hi there! I totally can't believe it, but it's our last day of school today. Where does the time go? End of the Year Gifts for Students The end of the year is already chaotic enough, so I wanted to share two student gift ideas that are actually EASY, affordable, and student-approved. 🙌 I don't always do student gifts at the end of the year, but I decided to pair them with my End of the Year Awards this year, and I'm so glad I did. This year, I did two different gifts for different classes. 🔗...

Hi there! The end of the year is a lot. Countdowns on the board (I actually have big feelings about this, but we'll chat about that later), restless energy in the air, and somehow we still need to keep the learning going. Ha! It's quite the task. Oftentimes, I see teachers use this time of year to have students write their LONGEST, most extravagant and perfect piece of writing yet... But... I'm going to be super honest, even if it's a little bit unpopular. That's a LOT to ask of kids as the...

Hi there! Last week on Facebook, I shared some of my favorite End of the Year novels to keep engagement high (and help you implement a super easy plan for several weeks). The post went pretty wild on Facebook, and it got over 100 responses and tons of interaction -- that tells me that I'm not alone in my desire to get high-quality books in kids' hands before summer rolls around! Novel Study Book Suggestions I decided to compile the most often recommended books to share with you! I placed them...

Hi Reader, I hope you had an absolutely marvelous week and have a lovely holiday weekend ahead. As I was preparing to share some of my favorite trending resources with you, one resource REALLY stood out to me. This resource has been tried and true for years, and I created when I was a 4th grade classroom teacher desperate for authentic (and engaging) review. Rapid Read and Review Although there are many different versions of this resource now (grammar, figurative language, skill-based, etc.),...

Hi Reader, I am waving a big, huge "hello" from my couch. Last week, I had surgery that requires me to be out of the classroom until the beginning of May (which I am already dreading). April is actually one of my very favorite months of the year to be a teacher because there are SO many seasonally engaging topics to teach! I've been super bummed about missing them this year, so I figured I'd live vicariously and share all my April favorites with you! ⭐⭐ I know I'm late sending this, but if...
