Do you struggle with how to use your Wonders ELA block? Where do you spend your time with the Wonders Reading Program? So many stories, passages, skills, strategies, vocabulary, grammar, writing. HELP!! Even seasoned, veteran teachers struggle with maximizing precious time.
Welcome back friends! It’s been a whirlwind of fun over here in our neck of the woods! Lot’s of learning, lot’s of learning growth, both inside and outside of school. The school year is ending (the craziest I think we’ve all endured), graduations, the start of summer vacation, all the fun stuff. I hope you all are excited for summer as well!
John and I both found out yesterday that each of our districts will be closing down schools effective Monday, March 16th and we will be teaching our students via Google Classroom for the next several weeks. If you got this or similar news yesterday and feel overwhelmed, do not panic. Just breathe. It will be okay. We are here to help. Take another breath, and repeat.
We have created many resources that may be able to help you. They have been created to upload into Google classroom in seconds. We are happy to answer questions, sample resources, or just listen if you need us. I will list some resources for you if you need help with ideas:
You can teach grammar via individual grammar skills or grammar bundles. We have OVER 80 individual grammar Google-based resources available in our store. Email us if you’d like one at no charge…. theteacherteam@gmail.com. Students use their computers at home and practice these skills using resources like these:
We have bundles like this for second through sixth grades, for Literacy standards 1 an 2. You can find them in our
The Teacher Team store
We made it! Fall is right around the corner which means… (in no particular order)
I could really go on for a while, and there will definitely be some fall blog posts coming up-stay tuned! But for now, there’s something more pertinent I thought we needed to talk about first, which is… SHOPPING! I’ve seen so many good deals lately that I thought I’d share some of the products I’ve had on my wishlist, on my mind, and especially in my cart!
My go to’s when shopping are always the deals/sales first, and then all the new products launched that season, so I can kind of gage what I can wait on (sale wise), and then see what I absolutely can’t live without. My eye catchers are usually makeup, boots, jackets, classic closet staples, and skincare. So let’s look at some of the great finds from my holy grail a.k.a. #Target
L’Oreal Paris Collagen Moisture Filler Day/Night Cream 1.7oz
Only $8.99- I love this moisturizer and it’s a perfect drugstore skincare product for a bargain!
Cutest pair of heels-perfect shoe to dress up or down and they look like Steve Maddens for half the price! There are a couple other colors/styles that look like this as well at Target and I want them ALL- Priced at $32.99
Cute n’ comfy graphic top! I always have fun getting a new funny/quirky/witty shirt especially when it involves napping!
Priced $12.99
Faux Leather Moto Jacket- A great staple for anyone’s closet. Perfect to wear with jeans, boots, dresses etc.
Priced: $35.00
^ what a steal

It has been a crazy, hectic, restless week. We are officially back in school, and most importantly, we’re in back to school MODE. This essentially means that everything gets pushed to the weekend, dishes pile up constantly in the kitchen because we’re exhausted by the time we get home, and we’re falling asleep by 8:15 PM. This usually happens in the first few weeks until we finally find our groove again (and our caffeine fixes). Back to school mode is no joke, and neither is the monumental whirlwind of realizing that there are never enough hours in a day to finish everything you need to.
So what’s the hardest thing to do when you get home after a long day of work?…. cook. That’s the hardest thing for us to do the first couple weeks back because it’s just one thing on top of another it seems like. So this week on the blog, we’re giving ourselves a grace period, and finding dinners that are simple, fast, and (somewhat healthy)… like I said a grace period.
We thought it was a great time to put some of these recipes up for you guys because we’re all struggling with the same thing! This time of year definitely kicks all of us into overdrive. Here are some recipes we’ve tried and found useful for those days where you really just don’t want to cook. If you have any other recipes or suggestions for some quick cooking that you love always feel free to message us at @theteacherteam! Enjoy-
For the days you need some #comfortfood
