π· spring is a time to try new things

Spring is in the air, Reader! I know the weather is not cooperating in certain areas of the US (here in South Florida, we're just grateful for a few more weeks of non-melting temperatures). Still, the spring season always ushers in feelings of growth and renewal. But it's not just flowers that bloom this time of year, Reader. 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 may grow into new favorites for the following year! If you're ready to try out some new teaching ideas, the limited-edition Spring Forward bundle is a great place to start. I've curated a mix of spring favorites, most-loved resources, and engaging activities that your students will beg to use over and over again. Not only that, the current price is over half off of what you'd pay for all these items individually. ...and I haven't even mentioned the best part. Before this bundle expires on May 31, I'll also add at least 3 new resources (value: $12). If you purchase now, that's the same as getting them for free! Here's what's included right now:
This is a great way to sample Creatively Comprehensive and see what I offerβat a very low price! However, if you're interested, time is of the essence...because the price will go up as I add new items. Not to mention, this deal is only available until May 31.

You've got: π’ A smaller Mexican army.π’ A much larger French force.π’ Long odds.π’ A victory that surprised everybody. It's the kind of underdog story students connect to. But hereβs the problem: Reading passages about historical events tend to be long. And dry. And hard to understand. So when a teacher told me...
Not everything needs to be invented from scratch, Reader. So if you need to come up with a way for students to respond to reading that doesn't interfere with your plans to binge The Pitt this week (because how is it the season finale already), may I humbly suggest this done-for-you option: JUST HIT PRINT They work with independent reading, centers, homework, small groups, and pair beautifully with whatever reading curriculum you are already using. So instead of spending your evening coming up...
Earth Day Every Day, Reader. ...unless you're a busy teacher prepping for test season. As much as torn construction paper collages and recycled art projects have their moment, this time of year is not exactly overflowing with extra wiggle room in upper elementary. You need your seasonal activities to pull their weight. Luckily, this one does: GET THE SCAVENGER HUNT Students move around the room reading Earth Day fact cards, answering text-based questions, working with vocabulary, and...
