Here are a few of my favorite things... teaching, tech, crafts, and others!
Newsela is a fantastic new site for ELA teachers looking to add more informational text to their lessons. Students log in and read up-to-date news articles that can be leveled for different readers. Many of the news articles also have quick quizzes at the end for teachers to check for understanding. Many of my students this year read more than the assigned articles because they find them so interesting!
As a craft junkie and teacher, clearly there is no better site than Pinterest! See my presentation for more information.
Popsugar Must Haves subscription. It's like getting a care package in the mail each month. Love.
I am a geek. Proud of it. I love think geek for their awesome, quirky gifts for all of my nerd needs. Big Bang Theory, Game of Thrones, Firefly... geek stuff.
So, as a geek, I also like to dress the part. Snorgtees has great shirts for teachers with all sorts of puns, jokes, and references to math, science, and history. My favorite is the one with a cat in a box labeled: time machine, destination Ancient Egypt.
Birchbox, because I love subscription box services. This one is beauty related samples.
Favorite nail polish. Ever.
