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! read more

Welcome back friends! Another day, another blog post coming at you! I bet most of you, like John and I, are sprinting towards the finish line when it comes to school ending in a few short weeks. This year has been an upheaval of insanity to say the least. We are so thankful for the community we’ve created over here on @theteacherteam blog, and we are here for all of you. COVID has presented many challenges, changes, and turmoil for everyone. For those who are struggling, pushing forward, or healing, just know our thoughts are with you as well as our hugs! read more

Distance Learning- We’re here to help

Distance Learning- We’re here to help

Hi friends,

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:

ELA Grammar Bundle L.3.1

ELA Grammar Bundle L.3.2

We have bundles like this for second through sixth grades, for Literacy standards 1 an 2. You can find them in our

Cupid’s Acts of Kindness

Cupid’s Acts of Kindness

Welcome back everyone and Happy (almost) Valentines Day! Time is flying by and I can’t believe it’s already February- we’re well into 2020! This blog post is special because I’ll be sharing acts of kindness, that you can do not just February but all year long; all in honor of this lovey dovey holiday! 

There’s more to Valentine’s Day than chocolate covered strawberries and candy hearts- I think this is a great holiday to genuinely show the people you love how much you appreciate them. It’s also important to give some acts of kindness to your fellow teacher friends- after all, we’re all in this together!

So without further or due, here’s Cupid’s acts of kindness for every special person in your life!

For your teacher pals:

  • Surprise them with a much needed Starbucks
  • Cover one of their bus/recess duties 
  • Donate some books to your school’s library or a fellow teacher’s collection
  • Compliments are key! Tell your bestie across the hall how great she looks!
