  • Creepy Carrots is one of my favorite read-alouds for Halloween or anytime of the year for that matter. In this post, I am sharing why I love Creepy Carrots as a Halloween book. This book is great for teaching story elements and retelling. This book helps students to understand characters, setting, solution, and problem. It is great for working on comprehension skills and vocabulary words. You will find Creepy Carrots activities and a craft that is hands-on and fun for your elementary students.

This is the perfect social emotional learning book to read during your classroom meeting time or morning meeting to discuss diversity.

This freebie is great for working on comprehension skills before, during, and after reading the book.
  • Are you still using clip charts for your behavior management system? If this is your go-to classroom management system, it is important to identify why you are using this to manage student behavior.

There are tons of other classroom management strategies out there but clip charts for managing behavior still are high on the list, especially for new teachers.
  • Are you using clip charts as part of your classroom management system? In this post, I am sharing 4 reasons why you should stop using clip charts in your elementary classroom today. Using a clip chart for behavior problems damages teacher student relationships and student relationships with their peers. Clip charts for behavior also don’t work long term. It is time to ditch this behavior management system and try something new.
