My Project

Let's face it, we may be over the halfway point of the school year but we are all tired! This year I have started teaching a new subject which has made it challenging to plan engaging lessons. Resources from TPT will help me find exciting Geography activities to complete with my students.

In addition, this new subject entails a younger group of students.

I have found that many find it difficult to sit still and stay focused. Fidget toys as well as candy and snacks will be used as great motivators to help these students. These materials will help us finish the school year strong!
