Since I love mysteries, this week I want to share with you a mystery icebreaker game that is a fun way for kids to get to know their peers. I've included the templates that go with this game free to download. I'll first write a game overview, then I'll outline the prep and set-up that must be completed before beginning this mystery icebreaker game.

It's no mystery that a healthy teacher is a happy teacher. Happy teachers are calmer, more effective, and are an integral part of maintaining a positive classroom environment. I've found that when I eat healthy and nutritious food, it helps me go into a positive frame of mind, and the kids seem calmer around me too. It took me a while to notice it, but now I truly believe that kids feed off your energy! So if you are tired and need a healthy energy boost, these yummy brownie bliss balls are the perfect guilt-free teacher treat!

The recipe for these healthy brownie bliss balls is easy to make, can be made in advance, and can be kept in your bag!  Everyone might enjoy them in the teacher lounge too if you dare to share.

​ The chances are that you probably have at least one introverted student in your classroom if not more. Understanding these students is crucial in helping them also have the opportunity to thrive and shine in your learning environment. This post aims to assist with identifying and understanding what introversion means, and hopefully also remove any misconceptions at the same time. Your students with this personality trait will appreciate it.

This Mystery Farm bag idea is a fun lesson to add to a farm unit. The goal in this activity is to learn and test farm animal knowledge.

There are plenty of ways to keep kids' minds active during the school break.
