Empowerment Series Printable Yoga Cards + Lesson Plans (for Educators)

Back to school can be an exciting time for children, and for others, a time of intense anxiety and discomfort. Whether it’s changing schools, worrying about “fitting in”, or dreading school work, some kids have a hard time adjusting to a new school year.

To overcome back-to-school blues, we invite children to try this curated yoga sequence consisting of 5 poses, 1 breathing exercise, and supporting mantras to either be spoken aloud or to yourself. When done regularly, this sequence can help young students develop a positive self-image, feel empowered, and prepared to face each school day with confidence.

The Empowerment Sequence is a 16 page PDF download which you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print out onto paper. We recommend cutting out each card and taping/gluing on a 4x6 index card or card stock. For added durability, laminate each card.

• Designed for kids of all ages

• Includes printable yoga deck

• Learn 5 yoga poses

• Learn 1 breathing activity

• Two curriculums to educate yogis

This is a full unit plan for reading Lord of the Flies by William Golding through a choice of two different lenses: Psychology or Gender. You'll receive the full Unit Plan in a grid format, as well as every assignment for both lenses.

Students will be put in groups according to their chosen lens and will explore a number of resources pertaining to their lens. They'll complete a wide variety of assignments, including a Double Entry Journal, Socratic Seminar, Symbolism Word Splash and Explanation, Theme Formal Essay, and Characterization Creative Situational Writing.

Since it's in a Google Doc, it's all ready for you to post and have your students complete digitally, OR you can print it out and have then do it that way, too!

Please let me know if you have any questions! My students LOVED being in charge of their own learning by choosing how they would read the text and having all of the assignments laid out for them right from the beginning. Thanks for looking!

This product contains everything you need to help students create a Stations of the Cross Presentation. The students will be expected to create a 14 slide PowerPoint Presentation reflecting on the 14 Stations.

Includes a Word Document & PDF of the following:

~Stations of the Cross Presentation Expectations: This document can be handed out to students when the project is assigned. It covers the expectations for the project, as well as a small rubric so they can see how the project will be graded.

~Stations of the Cross Outline: I would copy this onto the back of the Expectations worksheet. It will remind the students of the order of the stations. There are bible verses for each station. Most of the verses tell the story of that particular station. Some verses were selected as a reflection on the station.

~Stations of the Cross Bible Verses: I would print these two pages as a front/back worksheet for the students to use as a prewriting exercise. They will be asked to read the scripture verses and write a short summary and reflection of the station before they get on the computer.

~Stations of the Cross Rubric: This can be used to grade the presentations. Feel free to change the point values as you see fit for your class.

Also includes a PowerPoint Presentation with the following:

~Expectations for the presentations

~An example and explanation of the ACTS prayer format

~Small version of the rubric

~Example slides to show how their presentations can look

❖ La France - Advanced French conversation questions about France ❖

Part of our series of "discussions ciblées". List of 35 vocabulary words related to the conversation questions about France. Includes 20 discussion questions. The questions are suitable for upper level and AP French or for middle and high school French immersion. The questions are fun and thought provoking, and interesting discussions will happen! Students probably won't know the answers to a few of the questions, and when they find out they will know a lot more about French culture! You can print the list of words on one side of a page and the questions on the other side so that students can easily refer to the new vocabulary during their conversations. If you make a two sided copy everything will fit on one page.

Also included is a set of speaking cards for students to use prior to using the discussion cards so that they can become familiar with the theme and many new words. The cards just need to be printed and cut out so that your students can use them in pairs or small groups. Each card says, "Décris le mot suivant en français et ton partenaire le devinera." The vocabulary word is written both in French and English since many of the words will be new. This exposure to the vocabulary will make the discussion that follows flow easier. Students will still have easy access to the list of words on the other side of the photocopied questions.

Here are my other themed discussions:
⭐ Tourisme et voyages - Tourism and travel - French themed conversation questions
⭐ Le printemps Spring - Discussions ciblées - French themed conversation questions
⭐ La santé - Health - Discussion ciblée - French themed conversation questions
⭐ La plage - the beach - Discussion ciblée - French themed conversation questions
⭐ La nourriture Food - Discussions ciblées - French themed conversation questions
⭐ L'environnement - French themed conversation questions - Earth Day
⭐ Relations familiales - Family - French themed conversation questions
⭐ La voiture - Cars and driving - French themed conversation questions

Don't want to print? That's ok! A PDF with just one card per page is included for easy projecting or for tablets.

Every year there's that ONE holiday toy that captures the hearts of kids and sends parents off to the store to grab the last one. This mini unit covers the history of Christmas toys through four decades (some of which you will remember!). The unit is divided into three parts and relies heavily on student research. The parts can be done at your own pace over the course of a week or over several weeks.

Part One

-Includes two reading passages, one about the history of holiday gift giving and one about the rise of the toy industry.

-Research Project: Students are given four worksheets, one for each of the decades (1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s), and they must research toy trends for each decade

Part Two

-All of part two is in the included PowerPoint. This covers holiday advertising, starting with the early days of ads, through the department store catalog, and into modern television commercials.

-There are three links to toy commercials from the 70s, 80s, and 90s to watch with students

Part Three

-In part three, students will conduct an interview with an older friend or family member about their own holiday toy memories

-Final Project: Students pick one of three final projects to complete. Each project relates back to a different part of the unit.

This unit is geared towards a classroom, but is easily adapted to a homeschooler...in fact, I originally created it for mine! Every research activity is done solo and the PowerPoint can easily be used just for one or a handful of kiddos. This is also easily adaptable, in case you want to change anything for your students, but is no-prep, ready to go, as it is!

Are you teaching a Spanish 2 or 3 unit about Travel and Vacations?  Exhausted from creating all of the activities your students need to be successful?  This unit called “Nuestras vacaciones” includes EVERYTHING you need to teach this unit, without a specific textbook! Reading, writing, speaking, listening and cultural activities are all included, along with step by step lesson plans, homework assignments, assessments and answer keys.  Save your time and energy for the millions of other things teachers must do!

Being a new teacher or even teaching a new course can be so overwhelming and so time consuming.  Even districts that have textbooks don’t always provide all of the individual activities students need for practice in building both performance and proficiency.  These lesson plans are designed for about 5 weeks (5 classes a week) for any curriculum teaching about travel and vacations and the past (preterite) tense. They are written day by day, week by week, in a logical sequence.  Each activity is linked into the lesson plans, so you don’t need to go searching for what you need.  Everything is made with Google Docs or Google Slides, so you can modify if you want or need to change anything!

These lesson plans combine all of the best practices of World Language Instruction.  Grammar is embedded into comprehensible input, but specific notes and practices for grammar are also provided.  There are TONS of contextualized practices to increase proficiency, but there are also discrete practices to help students memorize vocabulary and endings to help them along faster! I try to marry performance (being able to communicate on a very specific topic) with proficiency (a person’s overall ability to communicate).  

Preview, print or post, and go! 

Check out the learning objectives and activity count here!

All of these activities are included in these lesson plans, along with many more which cannot be bought separately.

1. Spanish Irregular Preterite e-i Interactive Google Slides with Pear Deck

2. Spanish Youth Hostels: Presentation, Video, Reading

3. Vacaciones en España Culture Presentation with Linked Activities Past Tense

4. Spanish Writing Prompt: Our Vacation Past Tenses Group Challenge

5. Spanish Task Cards: Travel Situations for Speaking or Writing!

6. Spanish Partner Conversations about Travel and Vacation: Guided Conversations

8. Spanish Write, Speak and Listen Activity: Any Level!

9. Spanish Seal of Biliteracy Listening & Speaking for Travel and Vacations

Why should you trust me?  I have 23 years of experience as a high school Spanish teacher in years 1, 2, 3, 4 and AP Spanish.   I have taught both with and without textbooks.  Once the pandemic hit and we did not have access to our resources at school, I created most of the materials my students needed on my own. I love designing lesson plans and student activities that are based on growing proficiency and setting students up for success!  I am happy to answer questions and help with any needs as you work through these lesson plans.

This is a 10-15 day CROSS CURRICULUM lesson! It includes tasks from Math, LA, Science, Art, Social Studies, and more! There are two different videos that I have included.

The scenario: we have to leave Earth because of pollution. Students are part of the New Beginnings Mission and they must settle a colony on a new planet. Tasks include map making, decimal multiplication, scale drawings, team building, geometric drawings, research, measurement conversions, and more. It is presented in PowerPoint format. The first slide is an overview. All worksheets are included as slides that can be printed. There are also instructions included in the notes section of each slide.
