Family Nights and Fundraisers You Need to Host This Year

How to Address Mental Health in Your Classroom

How are you creating a safe environment for your students? Part of creating a comfortable learning environment is addressing the mental health challenges that we all face. We teach core subjects and extracurriculars in our schools daily, yet discussing mental health may be one of the most important conversations we ever have with our students. Mental health affects our classrooms and our students' lives each day, and there is no better time to be prepared to address mental health with our students than now.

Outdoor Science Project: Anemometer

Take a deep breath–we’ve got another easy science project for your students! We know many of our students are itching to get outside, so take your science lesson outdoors with this easy project about weather science.

5 Necessities for a Great Summer School Program

We are no strangers to the “summer slide”—the phenomenon that students’ academic levels fall after summer break away from school. Research has proven the positive effects of participating in summer school on academic wellness. Around this time of year, parents are ready to sign their students up for summer school to keep their brains active and academic skills strong these next few months.

3 Engaging Field Trip Alternatives

Students love going on field trips. Why? Because they break up their usual routine and help students experience classroom concepts first-hand. Field trips are often more engaging for students and offer hands-on experiences for students not found inside a traditional classroom. But many field trips aren’t an option when costs are high. They’re a hassle to put together and can even cause safety concerns. We have three alternatives that we believe work even better than a field trip.

5 Recycled Projects for Earth Day

There’s no better time than April to bring up conversations about recycling and environmental consciousness in our classroom. As Earth Day approaches this April, we share a few projects we’re excited to work on this month. These easy projects blend the principles of earth conservation with our regular science lessons.

Teaching Programming in K12: Benefits and Challenges
