FREE Guided Meditation: Beach Getaway

Were you able to visit the beach this summer? I didn't, but I certainly wish I did. There's just something about the sea air that provides peace and calm like almost no other place.

I think almost everyone likes visiting the ocean, or at least dreaming about it. 🌞🍹 When was the last time you were able to build a sand castle and ride the waves?

If you're like me and feel that same sense of relaxation at the water's edge, guess what? Now you only need ten minutes to go there anytime you want.


OK, not really. But in the spirit of self-care, I put together a ten-minute guided meditation experience designed to transport you to the coast--if only in your mind. It's 100% free, and you can use it again and again to help you relax anytime and anywhere. Click on the video link above to give it a try!

If you try the meditation and like it, I would love to know what you think. Leave a comment below, and tell your friends!

Factoring With a Graphing Calculator

Image
 I have a confession to make. My graphing calculator comes with a bunch of powerful features I've never used. There, I said it! I feel better. The good news is, there are a bunch of resources online to help. The two heavyweights are Texas Instruments and Desmos , and both have amazing free resources for educators. Let's start with TI. In addition to an entire educational hub available on their website, they have downloadable activities for the classroom, professional development webinars, and electronic versions of their product manuals, all free. Because TI calculators are ubiquitous in most of the classrooms I've been in, these resources can really save time and help students focus on the calculator instead of other devices. Nice! Desmos has built their platform around a mission to improve mathematics education for everyone, and their commitment to equity shines through in everything they do. I love their teacher dashboard , where you can browse learning activities and

Self-Grading Quizzes in Google Forms

Image
 While it's true Google Forms has been around a while, it's only been in the past few years I've had the chance to teach myself how it works. For those of you still using paper and pencil for assessments, you are in for a treat! Google Forms will save you so much time. Really! And: it's surprisingly easy to use. There are so many ways you can use Google Forms to save time in your classroom. Did you know Google Forms supports the following question types?  Multiple Choice: Ask a question and let students choose the best answer out of several provided. In Google Forms, more than one answer choice can be correct. Short Answer: Students will type their brief answer in the blank. Should be no longer than a few words. Paragraph: Same as Short Answer, but allows students to type a lot more. Good for essay questions. Checkboxes: Similar to Multiple Choice, but allows students to select more than one. Use this for those "Choose all that apply" questions. Drop-down:

Valentines From The Teacher

Image
 I still remember the year I taught fourth grade. There was a lot to learn, as this was also my first year teaching. I spent most of the year in a daze, constantly thinking about creating lesson plans, homework assignments, grading assessments and of course, managing behavior issues. Every year teaching is challenging, but the first year is definitely a trial by fire! 🔥 By the time February rolled around, I was beginning to feel a little bit better, like I was just starting to figure it all out. I'd formed solid relationships with my students and their families. I knew where I wanted my lessons to go, was staying on top of grading, and I was even starting to hit my stride with managing behaviors (at least somewhat). Printable, instantly-available valentines would have been a lifesaver for overwhelmed first-year-teacher me. But on the evening before Valentine's Day that year, I realized that not only did I not have any Valentines ready for my own two elementary-aged kids, I als
