All my best,

u’re using Google Classroom this year

Getting comfortable with new technology takes a while.

We know how to flip through FaceBook, check and send emails, post to Instagram, but very few of us are super comfortable with nitty-gritty techy stuff.

You know, the technical side of things: setting up email lists, getting to know new programs, importing data, merging lists etc.

And there’s so little time to play with new software during your teaching year. When you eventually end up with some free time, there’s always something to grade, somebody to see, something to sort out.

The secret to not getting stressed out by new technology is by taking baby steps.

You can’t run a marathon if you don’t know how to walk, right? You don’t have to know everything on day one. Don’t put that kind of pressure on yourself. Ask for help. Take it slow, ease into it.

Don’t stress about creating your own content right away.

Check out my interactive activities for nouns, verbs, and adjectives for use with Google Slides. There are seventy-four no-prep activities.

Just click on the link in the PDF, make a copy for your drive and share the activities with your students. It’s that easy.

The activities are user-friendly and great for getting your students (and you) started on Google Classroom. Send the whole set via Google Classroom, or share a slide at a time. You can decide exactly how you want your students to complete the activities.

You can use the grammar activities during center time, for homework, test prep, and even during whole class teaching on your interactive whiteboard. There are so many ways to use digital activities.

This will save you so much time!

Here’s a video preview of the adjectives set:

Your students will use various skills to complete all the tasks: typing, dragging and dropping, underlining, and drawing with the scribble tool.

Digital activities are winners!

It saves you time – no printing, cutting, and laminating. No papers to file and sort. No running around looking for lost assignments.

It saves you money – you don’t have to buy paper, ink for your printer, and laminating pouches.

Students learn valuable computer skills – typing, dragging and dropping, underlining, etc.

Students are engaged – students love using technology, it’s such a big part of their lives.

Special needs students prefer typing – many students avoid paper and pencil tasks because they struggle with fine-motor skills or spelling. Typing is so much easier and helps them feel successful.

Give it a go, check out my digital grammar activities and let me know how it works for your students!

All my best,

It’s so important to make the first day special; it sets the tone for the rest of the year. I’d love to share this free welcome back poem with you:

Hi there!

I hope you’re having a great week. I’d love to share my new set of Robot clip art with you!

Included you’ll find 25 images (color and black line), perfect for all your classroom creations.

I’ve specifically left space on each robot where you can add text or images. And, best of all, I included chalkboard and whiteboard versions of the robots holding signs. I love the look of chalkboard, but I know it can be a bit heavy on ink.

Below are some freebie images and digital paper that match this set, kindly leave feedback in my TPT store if you like this freebie

As always, I’d love to hear from you. If you’ve got some great ideas for clip art, please let me know!

Have a super day,

Back to school is just around the corner and many teachers are already starting to decorate their classrooms and plan for the first couple of weeks of school. I’d love to share one of my favorite freebies with you. Hopefully, I can save you a bit of time

Thanks for stopping by,

Hello,

I’m the teacher that loves drawing on her whiteboard. Yip, that’s me, marker in the hand, laughing my head off at my silly pictures. And you know what, it works. The silly pictures and themes help my kids remember abstract concepts. Visual images are powerful and easy to retrieve. When you visualize difficult concepts, it makes it easier to remember and apply.

I chose a safari theme for my Verb Tenses unit and it’s turned out to be quite an adventure! I’d love to share some of my ideas with you.

1. Anchor Chart:

2. Verb Tenses time machine armbands (free):

The armbands are secret time machines that can take your students to the present, past or future with the push of a button. This taps into their imagination and helps them to consciously think about their sentence construction. We decide where we want to be, push the correct button and then speak in that tense. You can grab a free version in my TPT store (please remember to leave some feedback, I’d love to hear from you):

3. Verb Tenses PowerPoint:

5. Verb Tenses PowerPoint Game:

Honestly, action verbs are one of my favorite parts of speech to teach. There are so many fun things you can do when you explore action verbs! Here’s a fun freebie that you can use with your class:

I have… Who has… Action Verbs!

This action verbs game is so much fun to play:

Directions:

Hand out all the cards.

The student with the “start” card may begin by reading the card aloud. Example: Start! Who has “I eat an apple”?

The student who has the card with the correct verb reads their answer and the new question. Example: I have “eat”. Who has “I read a good book”?

Students must listen for their turn and try not to break the chain.

When the chain circles back to the first student, the game is over.

My students love playing this; it’s so much fun, and it encourages good listening skills, a big bonus!

I also use this set as a simple matching or domino game.

Have fun teaching!

Lots of love,

It’s the end of the year and you’ve made it! You’ve survived all the testing and grading and your students have made you proud. Now you’ve got a couple of weeks left before summer break and you need to fill the remaining days with fun and engaging educational activities.
