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!

Let me know if you have any questions! โPassport Adventures Travel Agency.pdfโ Have a wonderful week! |
I show teachers how to make kids feel like they're traveling the world. I've been teaching for 18 years and have spoken at educator conferences in multiple countries. My 30+ travel lessons are made for early childhood students and cover places aroudnd the globe ๐

I even had magazines and travel pamphlets that a travel agent friend gave me, which made our agency feel a little more official. I created a page with 12 pictures of destinations around the world that I typically teach...
Hi Reader, There is something so exciting about a fresh classroom, a new group of students, and all of the possibilities that come with the first few weeks of school. But before the year gets too busy, I want to encourage you to do one simple thing that can make a BIG difference in your relationship with parents. Make sure the first thing parents hear from you is something positive about their child. It can be so easy for our first communication with a family to happen when there is a problem...
Hi Reader, Can you believe it's already time to start thinking about a new school year? It feels like summer just started, and now classrooms are being unpacked, bulletin boards are going up, and lesson plans are filling our minds once again. As excited as I am for another year with my students, I know that back-to-school season can also feel overwhelming. There are supplies to organize, rooms to set up, and a hundred little details competing for our attention. In the middle of all the...
