10 tips for Healthy Living - 1 views

  •  
    Eating healthily is all about balance. Every now and then it's perfectly OK to have pie for dinner or a nice slice of cake at teatime - treats are a part of life - but it's also important to recognise when we're pushing things too far.

WeAreTeachers: "Don't Smile 'til Christmas": A Teacher's Worst Advice - 3 views

  •  
    When I first started teaching, I actually believed in the old educational aphorism, "Don't smile until Christmas." I remember thinking, "I'm young . . . I look even younger. I need to lay down the hammer early so kids don't mess with me." And there I was, reading the syllabus with a scowl.
  •  
    I read this article while in school for my teaching certification! It was great. Being warm and inviting is super important to creating a welcoming environment in the classroom! I love to joke around with my kids and lighten up when it's appropriate. It makes the hard stuff that much easier!

History Teachers Youtube Channel - 1 views

  •  
    This is a great channel on Youtube for teachers to use. The groups that create these videos take popular songs and rewrite them in order to teach students about different time periods or events in world history. This can be used as a great intro or ending video clip, or as a brain break. Beware- some songs are very catchy and can get stuck in you head. =)

How to Have a Safe, Fun, and Successful Field Trip With Your Students - 0 views

  •  
    During my first year of teaching, I naively thought that field trips would be easier and more fun than a typical day in the classroom. Then, I got my first taste of field trip reality - my student Andrew got stung on the tongue by a wasp first thing in the morning.** Just a few reminders
