Hi Reader, This week I shared something I've been working on for a while. I took my Passport Adventures: Machu Picchu lesson and gave it a major glow-up, with tons of new content and several brand new videos added in. It now comes with 61 pages, 19 videos, 4 drawing/writing pages, a teacher guide, bulletin board, and student packing lists. It's the biggest and most detailed lesson I own. I loved seeing so many of you view it from Instagram and/or Facebook already this week. To say I'm proud of this lesson would be an understatement. I'll be doing this exact lesson with my students in a few weeks...but they don't know that yet! Last Week's Poll:Thank you, if you voted in last week's poll about wanting the resources I created to turn our classroom into a travel agency! It's a pleasure of mine to share these resources with teachers. Click below for travel pages I made. Let me know if you have any questions!

I show teachers how to make kids feel like they're traveling the world. I've been teaching for 20 years and have spoken at educator conferences in multiple countries. My 30+ travel lessons are made for early childhood students and cover places across the globe. 🌎

Rainbow Mountain, also known as Vinicunca This week in my classroom, we "traveled" to Rainbow Mountain in Peru, which sits at about 17,000 feet! My students learned what it means to acclimate - to help your body adjust to thinner air at higher elevations. They pretended to "acclimate" to...
Hi Reader, Fall is the perfect time to remind students that seasons don’t look the same everywhere. While we may be watching leaves change colors here at home, other parts of the world are experiencing completely different seasonal changes. This week, take your students on a Fall Around the World adventure! Start by showing students a world map and asking: Where do you think trees are changing colors right now? Have students make predictions and place a sticky note, marker, or digital pin on...
Hi Reader, Recently, my students traveled (virtually!) to one of the most incredible places on Earth: the Galápagos Islands. These islands are bursting with wildlife that can’t be found anywhere else, making them the perfect destination to spark curiosity and wonder in kids. Welcome to the Galápagos Islands! I have to admit, before we started, I wasn’t sure if my class was going to burst out laughing at the name “blue-footed boobies.” But surprisingly, not one giggled! They just accepted it...
