Hello friends, new and old! If you're just joining the Creatively Comprehensive club, welcome! i'm so glad to have you. ...and if you've been here awhile, I appreciate you just as much. (don't tell the newbies about the corny jokes yet, okay? give them a minute to get settled.) ANYWAY. There's a good chance that if we've crossed paths on the the ol' interwebs, you've probably tried a scavenger hunt or two of mine. Now, I love all my scavenger hunt babies equally, but this Earth Day version? It comes at the perfect time. You know April is a rough month. Spring Break is over, and you have to dive head first into test prep, testing, meetings about testing, alternative testing for promotion...you get the picture. This, of course, leads to a lot of butts in seats. Unfortunately, Reader, April (and the beginning of spring) is the time of year when said butts are dying to get out of their seats, which may lead to a little friction between teacher and student, amirite? Therefore, I'm giving you permission to take one day next month to plan this scavenger hunt activity for your students. They'll get to move AND still practice reading nonfiction and answering questions. It's a win for everyone. Until next time, Marianna |

Many teachers (myself included) are inspired to try out new lessons or strategies during this time of year. It's the perfect time to plant new seeds for activities that...

It's about that time, Reader, To be honest, I'm not a huge 🏈 fan, and I'd only be interested in the halftime show if Nirvana was playing. (...and, tbh, even the commercials aren't what they used to be- plus, they get leaked early, anyway.) But if today is your jam, Reader, I hope the game is fun, the dips are tasty, and the halftime entertainment is spectacular. ...and to my friends of a certain age bracket- remember the lessons learned a few years back and check up on your supply of...
