Raise your hand if you caught the Blue's Clues reference! These math interactive notebooks really are handy and dandy. You've probably heard of math interactive notebooks. Maybe even tried a few out. And honestly, some of them are a complete waste of precious instructional time. BUT...THESE. THESE aren’t just any notebooks. They’re NO-FOLD notebooks. Yep...easy peasy. They will SUPPORT your lesson...NOT hijack your whole math block. ⏳ Here’s how they help your students: 📓 They get involved Instead of zoning out while you model, students are gluing in their own notebook page and jotting down your notes and examples in the extra space. 🧰 They’re a built-in reminder Once your whiteboard’s erased, the lesson is gone. But the notebook? Still right there in their desk. And they can look back at them any time they need to. ✏️ They build independence Teach students to flip back for help. Model how you use the notebook so they can too. These notebooks are ready for grades 2–5. They come with or without standards on the page. ✨ You're going to love having this tool for your students this year.

Suddenly, they’re asking for “just one more passage.”They’re focused. Engaged.They’re reading. This is your chance to...
Fact fluency is one of those things. For some kids...it just comes easy! And for others? ...not so much. If you still have students who struggle with their facts, here’s a little ✨classroom magic✨ to help: Magic Reveal Math Fact Slides. Students solve the problem, then move a flashlight to magically reveal the answer. ✨ It’s interactive, self-checking, and keeps them engaged...without even realizing they’re practicing their facts. Because let’s face it...by spring, they need something new!...
Hi teacher friend, Spring weather is doing its thing again...warm and sunny one day, freezing the next. (Kind of like how students understand figurative language one day…and forget it the next. 😆) Figurative language can be tricky for students.

But it can also be SO.MUCH.FUN! 🌼 In this blog post, I’m sharing some easy, engaging lesson ideas to help your students master figurative language. 👉 Check out the blog post...
