October 29, 2020 EP 154 - Create An Emergency Supply Plan Binder
Send us Fan Mail
I want to start off this week with a quick story. Recently, my daughter woke up with a runny nose, congested, sore throat, and a sore stomach.

This meant she would not be going to school. 🤒

This made me think about the current situation we are in. If you have family members that rely on you to take care of them or if you don’t pass your Covid screening test, it means no teaching for you that day.

In the past, we’ve simply sent in a lesson plan to the sub for that one day.

But 2020 has changed everything, it's no longer just one day, it could even mean a whole week out of work.

📖✏️So that means we need to be overprepared with plans and supplies for our subs.

This made me think that it is SO important for us to have an emergency supply plan binder!

If it sounds overwhelming to make a lesson plan for 3 days, 7 days, or even 14 days. Don’t worry! That’s why I’m here to help you plan and prepare. 👍🏼

October 15, 2020 EP 152 - Modifying and Accommodating for Students Reading At or Below Grade Levels
Send us Fan Mail
There are SO many factors that can impact our students and their ability to read.

The reality is, we may be teaching in Grade 5, but not every student is going to be at that Grade 5 reading level - the range can sometimes even be huge.

So, let's talk about ways we can modify and accommodate for our students who are reading below grade level.

Now that most of us are back to school let talk about classroom management. I have six tips, tools and strategies that you can think about when planning out how you will manage the behaviour in your classroom. Not all classroom management systems are designed to work the way you want them to. In my first year of teaching I had the one I was using backfire in an unexpected way. From this lesson, I learned how to really motivate kids to quash the issues that are so common in the classroom. From power struggles, to acting out, to student apathy these six tips will help you decide which system is right for you so you can avoid these common problems.
