This week’s talented teacherpreneur is Johanna from ThatTeacherJo. She started creating resources when, as a bilingual teacher, she couldn’t find any quality Spanish resources. She figured if she needed them, other teachers did as well. She’s been growing her store ever since!

The supplement resources to the Daily Five and CAFE she’s created are the most valuable resources she’s made. They have helped her structure her literacy block which was a great starting point for her 9 years ago when she became a teacher.

She tells any aspiring teacherpreneur that if you create resources for your class, most likely others will need them too. She’s often downloaded others products and used them in her class, to which she is very grateful. Take a chance and go for it. There are many tips on how to get started out there.

Her next venture as a teacherpreneur is to learn how to create digital resources on google slides. It is top on her to do list for the summer!

End of the Year Activities

Top 5 things to do to keep your class engaged the last month of school Here are some things to keep your students motivated and engaged in class the last few weeks of school.

Here are some tools you can use to help students feel motivated to finish out the year strong! 1. Balloon pop motivation Set up balloons at the top of the whiteboard (where kids can’t reach) and the last few minutes of class pop one a day (if they've had a good day). Inside have incentives, such as no shoes the last 10 minutes of class, have a dance party, have free time with blocks and board games, etc. If the class doesn't have a good day that day they don't get to pop a balloon! 2. Games, games, games Have students bring in their favorite board game to play with classmates at a designated time of the day. If you need to cover academics during this time, board

Addition Fact Fluency

By
When I began my teaching career as a second grade teacher, there was one mathematical standard that frightened me the most. “By the end of second grade, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers.” (CCSS 2.OA.B.2) I approached this standard in the same way in which I was taught my addition and subtraction facts by drilling my students with facts. I incorporated flashcards, games that required quick recall of the sum like knock out and around the world as well as weekly fact quizzes into my math lessons, but as the year progressed, there were two problems that surfaced.  1. My students were not engaged during fact practice time. To be frank, they were bored.  2. My students were not making progress on their weekly fact quizzes.  Needless to say, I was feeling quite defeated. My second grade students were not going to know the addition facts to 20 from memory by the end of the year if I continued to employ the same strategies. Luckily, around this same time, I was able to attend
