Earth Day is April 22. 🦚🌲🐾🌞🌸🌍 ♻️ Have you wanted to do something to celebrate Earth Day in your classroom but you didn’t know just what? Why not have your students write a collaborative poem about the environment, global warming, and other ecological issues pressing down upon us? Poetry With Friends Earth Day Edition is based on my wildly popular free TpT product. I’ve adapted and expanded it to feature words related to Earth Day. BTW what a great way to add a STEAM activity to your ELA lessons. Your students will not stress out over this poetry writing activity because they will be able to collaborate with friends. My free version of Poetry With Friends has over 200 downloads with 40 ratings ✅ Link in my profile 🤗👍🏽♻️ #earthday #environment #globalwarming #poetry #collaboration #teacherspayteachers #teachersofinstagram #creativewriting #ela #secondaryela #teachersofinstagram #steam #captivatemotivateeducate

I have created these literacy station task cards that ask students to build or sculpt representations of common English idioms. Understanding idioms is an important part of a student's reading and aural comprehension. I believe your students will enjoy these task cards. Innovation and creativity will flourish! #makerstation #handson #clay#legos#teachersofinstagram #teacherspayteachers #teachertribe #highschool #englishteacher #nctegram #elatoday #literacystations #writingstation #captivatemotivateeducate #taskcards #idioms #englishidioms

The Habits of Mind are, in some ways, even more important than grades or test scores. We all want to foster the Habits of Mind in our students. A couple of ways is to place posters around the classroom, and to talk about the Habits through opportune times, but another way is to get students to think about them in a creative way. My new TpT learning station task cards ask students to sculpt or build their understanding of the Habits. They then must explain how they try to practice the ideals in their lives.

“Can we play this again tomorrow?!” This is what my students said after they played 3 rounds of Scrabble Battle! Talk about engagement! This is the perfect game to review vocabulary words before a test/quiz. If you wish, you can use your own photos to help build excitement about important new concepts in an upcoming unit. This game can be adapted to work with any subject matter. Scrabble Battle helps ELL students gain fluency and confidence in learning and spelling new vocabulary words.

I had all my students watch an awesome TED Talk on empathy then I had them work with a partner to write 6 random acts of kindness on paper hearts. For the most part most of my students seemed to be sincere. But my sophomores continue to be challenging. Right after they completed the writing activity, what do I hear? They’re continuing to tell each other to shut up. Two of them are giggling instead of working, and as I’m trying to teach they’re interrupting me. Two of them earned a detention. 😑😑😑 #empathy #lackofempathy #randomactsofkindness #toughday #irony#teachersofinstagram

I am soooo excited about this new product which will be available soon in my TpT store! A.C.E.S Squares! I have not been this excited about a student project in a long time. My AP Language and Composition students are completing a culminating project based on the theme of identity. They are writing about author’s purpose, essential questions, and more. I love that the project combines writing with art. This is a meaningful project and will make a beautiful bulletin board display. 👍🏽👀👀 This works with any theme in fiction or non-fiction. Great for essays, short stories, novels, etc. #acessquares #analysis#aplanguage #creative#bulletinboardideas #teacherspayteachers #teachersofinstagram #secondaryela #highschoolenglish #teachertribe #handsondesign #teachersfollowteachers #2ndaryela #closereading #theme #captivatemotivateeducate
