Hey friend, Let’s be honest… Halloween in the classroom is bananas. The costumes. The candy. The nonstop questions about when the party starts.

So instead of fighting the chaos, I’m rolling with it. I plan on surviving with these six Halloween Games and Activities that keep little hands busy, brains kind of learning, and you from...

Hey Reader, Confession time: the first time I taught odd and even numbers, I reached for toilet paper… to count the squares. (Yes, really. 💀) Because no matter how “easy” it seemed, I had no idea how to explain it. It felt intuitive, but I couldn’t break it down.

Except... every single one of our bottle rockets failed. Every. Last. One. And whose fault was it? 👋🏻 Mine. Standing there, red-faced and deflated, I had a choice. I could panic... or pivot. So I stepped forward and told my students, “We’ve made a great mistake today.” We laughed, launched a spare...
