  • I have a riddle for you. What do 2nd graders and 5th graders (and the grades in between) all love? Hint: Ice cream (but that isn’t the right answer). The correct answer is my brand-new coloring pages and I guarantee that you and your students will love them too. Coloring isn’t just for kindergarten anymore. The coloring craze is attracting all age groups. There are loads of bestselling coloring items on Amazon, even for teens and adults.
  • Unplugged Coding Activities sounds like a contradiction in terms, doesn’t it? Or at the very least, a backwards way of teaching a skill. If you have yet to try Unplugged Coding Activities, you may be thinking (like I did!) “You want me to teach computer skills without a computer?” Yes! Yes, I do. Trust me – this is the best way to begin and reinforce coding skills! Coding is more than learning a language – rather it involves problem solving, critical thinking, logic and reasoning.
  • A STEM challenge is an activity that encourages students to research, design, build, test, and reflect in order to find a solution for a specific problem by using Science, Technology, Engineering, and/or Math. STEM challenges focus on the thought process and thinking like a STEMist or a person with a career in the STEM field. With my Bible STEM challenges, students’ problem solving and 4Cs are developed through the exploration of Bible stories.
  • As an elementary teacher, finding engaging and interactive resources to teach your students about animal life cycles can be a challenge. The Animal Life Cycle Interactive Wheel Crafts from Jewel’s School Gems Club are an excellent resource that can make teaching life cycles fun and exciting for your students.
