Simple yet engaging ways to make your upper elementary lessons meaningful and fun!
let's learn together 🤓

Greetings, Reader! Here's some more info about the FREE Cheerful ELA Education Conference I shared with you on Thursday. We have 15 talented and experienced upper elementary ELA teachers, sharing up-to-date, relevant ideas you can quickly implement to engage your students in reading, writing, grammar, spelling, phonics, speaking, and listening. The conference is free to join and you’ll have access to all 15 presentations for 4 days. There will be fun giveaways and live take- action sessions for you to join each day to get the most out of the conference. If you don’t feel like 4 days is long enough to get the most out of the presentations, there is a Booster Pass upgrade option where you can get access to the presentations and a private conference podcast for 12 months. Here are some presentations I can’t wait to watch:
Here's a link to the FULL schedule. And of course, I can't wait for you to join my session: Scaffolding and Support for Narrative Writing Success! I'll be talking about simple shifts you can make to get your students engaged in writing fun narratives.
Have any questions about the event? Feel free to send me a message! Talk soon, Marianna |

Students will: ✅ Read a short passage about the...
How do you want to spend your time, Reader? You could spend hours making the perfect end-of-year bulletin board. Or...you could not. (because who has time for that in the year 2026?) There is a little-known 3rd option, however: GET THE KIT ON TPT This kit hits the sweet spot: a meaningful student display that already looks pulled together, without you having to build the whole thing from scratch...or at all, tbh. Hand the kids some scissors, and you're good to go. (Did I mention it's a...
Scroll to the PS for an important Mother's Day activity note No offense to the moms out there, Reader. ...but May is packed. It's a little tricky to fit Mother's Day* in between, you know, ::gestures vaguely:: That being said, you know you have at least one sweet friend who will look up at you with those big eyes and ask, "Can we do something for Mom?" And you, with the willpower of a squirrel near an unattended bird feeder, are going to say yes. So why not make it an easy one with this...
