Hi again. Sorry for the crickets around here lately. I’m officially “back to work” as of yesterday, so I spent last week attempting to do all 57 items on my To Do list that I avoided for the previous nine weeks (spoiler alert: I failed – miserably). Regardless, I’m hoping that the start of another school year – at least once I get settled in and organized – will bring some more routine and consistency to my life and blog; so… Take that for what it’s worth!
By the time you read this I will (hopefully) be in bulletin board re-no mode; but, in honor of school starting back up, I thought I’d do a quick round-up of some of my favorite posts for teachers today. Hopefully some of you will find some ideas here that you can incorporate into your class this fall. Enjoy!
1. Decoration & Organization for the High School Classroom
2. How to Make a Custom Blackboard Course Banner for Free
3. Using the Number System to Keep Up with Books and Materials
4. Tips for Teaching from a Cart
6. 3 Tips for Surviving the Teacher Workload and Staying Sane
7. How Do You Teach Grammar? (Check out the comments in this one!)
8. My Favorite Tool for Teachers: Remind 101
9. First Day of School Activity and Meme Power Point to Go Over Syllabus Etc.
10. How I Teach Vocabulary – With Handouts
(I’m revising this a little this year, but this is what I’ve done in the past.)
*Bonus* Check out this list of my favorite blogs for secondary teachers for lots of other GREAT resources!
Do you have a great post for teachers on your own blog? If so, please leave a link in the comments!
ALSO, if you have a topic you’d like me to write about for one of these “Teaching Tuesday” posts, please let me know by leaving a comment or emailing me (samandscoutblog@gmail.com)
Best wishes for a happy and productive start to the school year!
