Mark your calendars and set those alarms, because this is one early wake-up that actually pays off. A total lunar eclipse is coming, and it’s 2026’s only blood moon. It will be lighting up the sky in the wee morning hours of March 3rd. Events like this don’t come around often, but when they do, they have a way of convincing people to brave the cold, step outside half-awake, and stare at the sky in awe. For students, it’s a rare moment when science feels less like a lesson and more like an adventure.

Welcome to the FINAL week of January…or, as teachers like to call it: “The Month of 1,000 Mondays!” If you’ve spent the morning explaining the same reminder for the fourteenth time, we see you! We know you’re tired, but you’re doing incredible work. At Mobile Ed, we believe great classrooms aren’t just about mastering content, they’re about helping students learn how to steer their own ships. Making the shift from “The Teacher Who Does it All” to “The Guide on the Side” leads to a calmer classroom flow and, hopefully, a slightly less exhausted teacher by dismissal time.

Do you suffer from chronic kindness reminders? You have delivered the speeches, posted the posters, and said “be kind” more times than you can count, yet unkind moments still find their way into classrooms, hallways, and group work. Teachers know kindness matters, but simply repeating the message does not always make it stick. If it did, that one poster would have solved everything by now. What truly makes a difference is giving students a shared experience that helps kindness feel real, relevant, and memorable.

Winter brings chilly mornings, early sunsets, and the irresistible urge to wrap up in a blanket and look up at the sky. The colder months also offer some of the clearest stargazing opportunities of the year. But, let’s be honest for a moment. As much as we love the idea of a winter nature walk, the reality often involves a lot of shivering, chattering teeth, and students more focused on their frozen fingers than the wonders of the natural world.
