The scary truth about what's hurting our kids - Your Modern Family In the past week, I’ve read several studies that are scary to me… the scary truth about what’s hurting our kids. We all know that what our kids hear becomes their inner voice, but it’s hard to control what they hear from others, isn’t it? CNN recently interviewed Dr Jean Twenge, author of iGen and her interview really worried me – because I saw the truth that I would be facing in just a few short years. Dr. Twenge started doing research 25 years ago on generational differences, but when 2011 -2012 hit, she saw something that would scared her to the core. The results of that should scare all of us. This was the year that more kids started to say that they felt “sad, hopeless, useless… that they couldn’t do anything right (depression).” They aren’t dating as much. More likely to feel lonely. They are getting less sleep. She goes onto say that we are on the worst mental health crisis in decades. Why is this happening? Think about bullies. I can’t imagine being a tween or teenager now.

WEBSITE LISTS Interactive Notebook Setup | Mrs. E Teaches Math Before I started using interactive notebooks, I always wondered how other teachers set them up and got kids started. I’ve read on other blogs that some teachers take up to a week (!) to set them up. So, I thought I’d share what I did this year. I told kids at Open House that they would need a composition notebook by the second day of school. First, I explained that all of their notes will go in their notebooks. I passed out Sharpies and had the kids write their name and class period on the front cover somewhere (inside or outside). The second page explains the “rules” of the notebook. The third page is my favorite of the beginning pages. The fourth page I threw in for good measure. As far as supplies, I just have a small pencil pouch under each of their desks.

Here are five ways you can bring that humor into your classroom (and school) to connect with students: 1. Class Rules, Expectations, and/or Procedures: Instead of your traditional class rules poster, use memes to deliver your message with humor.

EdTech Trends: Meme Lesson Ideas | Channel One News Discovering new ways to engage students is a challenge for teachers in all disciplines. One way to keep students interested is to make connections to the real world.

Education Week By Sandy Merz Where do I sit? It's the universal first question, at the top of students' minds as they cross the threshold of my room on the first day of class. Many teachers start the semester with students seated alphabetically: It's easy and aids in learning names. I've tried both of these approaches with my 8th graders. However, these practices don't demand anything from students. I've found that by engaging students in seating challenges, I set a positive collaborative tone from the first day. On the first five days of class, my students determine where they sit based on team problem-solving activities. In return, students learn to expect me to be prepared, organized, and supportive—as opposed to being authoritative and having all the answers. Here's how the approach works in my middle school classroom, which seats 32 students around five large tables. Each activity takes 10 to 15 minutes but there is some preparation.
