[FIRST NAME GOES HERE], Let's Make Your Inbox a Little Happier!

Published 11 days ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

I hope you are enjoying the last, golden days of summer. I was, until the other day, when I made the mistake of opening my school email.

Which got me thinking..... What does YOUR inbox look like? Is it as bad as mine? (Go ahead and hit reply. I read every email and I am ready with sympathy and tissue!)

Help me, help you!

I want to make sure that the emails I send you this year are actually useful to you.

I have been teaching since 1995, and have taught every elementary grade level. Whether you teach reading, math, science, vocabulary, or a little bit of everything, I have something for you! But if you teach kindergarten, you are probably not interested in 5th grade science. (Or maybe you have FOMO, how would I know?)

Over the next few weeks I'll send you six free classroom resources. Each one is designed for a different grade level or subject, so all I need from you is a few clicks to tell me what you teach. That way I can stop sending you things you don't need and send you more of what you do.

Every teacher who updates their preferences will also be entered in a Giveaway for a $25 Amazon gift card!

The video I use every year....

Let's start with my most watched video:

This FREE video has been viewed in over 96,000 classrooms. It's a simple and effective tool for teaching students how to set goals - and it is a perfect way to launch the school year. This video is best for 2nd grade and older.

Ready to help me, help you?

Over the next few weeks you'll receive exclusive freebies that aren't available anywhere else, classroom ideas, and some of my favorite FREE teaching resources. Just click the grade level you will teach this year so I can send you the content that is best for YOU! (And remember, respond to be entered in the drawing for the Amazon gift card!)

Happy Teaching!

Susan

P.S. This is just the beginning! On Tuesday, I'll be sharing a free resource that's very close to my heart and one small way we can help students fall in love with books again.

Dear Reader, My first teaching job was in a small school with predominantly Spanish speaking students. Since I am bilingual, the district assumed I would be able to teach them English. Boy, were they wrong! I had no idea what I was doing. I had lots of enthusiasm...and very few strategies. So I started to learn, and read and try things in my classroom. And then I got a new job, where all the students were native English speakers. But that didn't mean that they had strong vocabularies. So, I...

Hey Reader, Maybe you've noticed it too. Students are reading fewer books now than they used to. As a classroom teacher for over 30 years, I have watched this with tears in my heart. So many times in my life, a book has come along and been just the friend that I needed. When I taught 5th grade, I wanted my classroom to constantly remind students that books could make them laugh, cry, wonder, travel, imagine, dream, and give them hope in dark times. Students deserve to experience books that...

Hi Reader, Did it seem to you that May was the longest month on record, and June is flying by? I am still teaching (congrats if you are NOT!). The end of the school year always seems to arrive slower AND faster than expected—and keeping students focused during these final weeks can feel like a challenge. That’s why I’ve been working on this set of seasonal sight word color by code activities designed specifically for this time of year. They’re perfect for: ✔ Summer School✔ Summer review...
