TECH TIP OF THE WEEK
Mapping is a necessary skill in any social studies classroom. As a teacher, I’ve found that when it comes to mapping, collaboration is tough. Giving a map to a group for collaboration usually means one-two students doing the work of mapping, while the remaining two-three students sit idly and have side conversations. This problem makes collaborative mapping difficult to do as a learning activity. Fear no longer, welcome to the world of Google My Maps.
Words of Wisdom
Kind words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless.
~ Saint Teresa
Each kind word we offer to another person creates a ripple effect. Research has shown us that those who receive kindness are more apt to bestow kindness to others. Isn't it fascinating to consider where your kind words may have landed? Through school walls, into homes, neighborhoods, across generations and into hearts. Something so seemingly simple with so much impact. Creating a more caring world must start somewhere. You can be a catalyst for kindness in a world where too much mean-spiritedness abounds. So, let your classroom be a kindness chamber. Be the source of endless echoes of kindness.
With something to think about . . .
Remember to take care of yourself.
Just as kind words echo endlessly in the lives of others, so do the words spoken to yourself. Be kind to yourself today so that kindness echoes into the days to come.
Happy Birthday!
