Not saying I'm an expert, but I've got a pretty go

Not saying I'm an expert, but I've got a pretty good system going. Staple, smooth, staple, smooth — the smoothing is what keeps you from getting to the last corner and realizing the whole thing is full of bubbles. Doing all my prep now because I've got something going up on this board later this week 👀

What's your bulletin board paper trick?

Turn and talk isn't something students just know t

Turn and talk isn't something students just know to do. It's a routine you teach.

And once you teach it, those 60 seconds stop being a break in the lesson. Students aren't just talking — they're thinking, listening, explaining, responding, and learning from each other.

Same partner conversation. Completely different payoff.

We've put together free Conversation Stem posters so your expectations stay on the wall after you've taught them, plus a full walkthrough of how to build the routine from day one.

Comment CONVERSE and I'll send you both.

Turn and talk sounds simple. Ask a question, let them talk to a partner, keep moving.

But it's a skill, not a strategy you hand over. Kids need to see what active listening, speaking up, waiting a turn, and disagreeing respectfully actually look like before they can do it with a partner.

Swipe through for 5 books that give your students anchor stories for all four.

Getting startled by a falling water bottle was not

Getting startled by a falling water bottle was not on my bingo card when I started subbing. 😅

Let's just say I understand the appeal of a designated water bottle spot.

Three simple systems that just make sense:

💧 The Hydration Station gives every water bottle a home
🎫 The hallway passes tell you where a student went the second you glance at their empty seat
✨ The Affirmation Station keeps encouragement in front of students while you teach

None of them need a complicated plan. All of them are things your students can run on their own.

Comment STATION and I'll send you all three 👇

You look up, see an empty seat, and think — wait, where did that kid go? 🤔

Not because you forgot. Because nothing in the room told you.

That's why I love this hallway pass idea. The passes stay in the classroom, in little frames on a shelf. When a student leaves, they grab the right pass and set it on their desk.

Nurse pass on the desk? They're at the nurse. Bathroom pass sitting there? You already know.

One glance at the empty seat and you have your answer.

Comment STATION and I'll send you this one plus two more simple classroom setups 👇

Where did that student go?
Where do all of these water bottles go?

Small questions. But they come up again and again, and that adds up fast.
