STEM Freebies & More

I am here with some STEM freebies and links.   I am going to be honest and tell you that I have yet to implement STEM in my classroom but I want that to change!  I have been pinning and saving resources on Pinterest to find ways to incorporate STEM into my curriculum.   STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.
CITGO Fueling Education has launched a FREE website to help make implementing STEM in your classroom easier. Their goal is to celebrate STEM education, as well as imagination and innovation in classrooms across America, through teacher support and FREE classroom resources.  You can check out their website HERE.
There are amazing free resources on the site like these.  Click the images to check them out!

CITGO also has a contest for you…

Contest Details:
Click HERE to tell us how your students use STEM learning to boost their creative and critical thinking skills and your classroom could win amazing prizes from CITGO and renowned STEM educator, Steve Spangler. Steve Spangler could visit your school (grand prize) or your students could have the opportunity to attend one of Steve Spanglers’ “Science in the Rockies” workshops (9 prizes) or your classroom could win a $1,000 National School Supply Voucher — Ninety (90) teachers will win a voucher from National School Supply for $1,000 in classroom supplies! 

STEM Toolkit Bonus: Be one of the first teachers to enter and you’ll receive a free STEM toolkit with loads of fun STEM “Imagination Lab” experiments, a free classroom poster and much more. (Available while supplies last). 

As mentioned above, you can also download the STEM toolkit & download individual STEM content for use in your classrooms.

I hope to be back with STEM themed posts.  I plan on using the free CITGO lessons to get me started with STEM!

    I just found your blog and I LOVE it!! We use STEM at my school, but we added an extra component to it: art. So we call it STEAM. Thanks for sharing these awesome resources!

🎂Happy 20th Birthday @teacherspayteachers ! I hav 🎂Happy 20th Birthday @teacherspayteachers !

I have been with TpT since 2008!  I remember looking for a place where I could share my computer created resources with other teachers without having to set up my own website.  TpT was suggested.  I started off with a few Microsoft Word created resources 😬. At the time, the founder of TpT, Paul and his brother Dana, were single-handedly running things. I loved getting their newsletters.

In 2009 I was in a NY times article for TpT about who owns the copyright to teacher’s lesson plan ideas…the schools or the teachers.  This was not the article the author or editors told me I would be in, but that is another story! 

I stuck with TpT and creating resources and then in 2011, the site really took off and I met all these other amazing teacher-authors and finally met Paul in real life! 

As a single homeowner on a teachers salary, I worked nights and weekends on TpT resources just to be able to afford to live in my little house.  Then something amazing happened, my hard work paid off and I was able to get myself some breathing room.  I am so grateful for TpT for giving my life purpose and financial freedom back in those days.  Even though I am married now, I am so proud of myself for being able to own that little house (I still have it and rent it out) and buy my forever home in my dream neighborhood all by myself.

So many of you found out about TpT and so many more sellers joined.  It truly became the open market place that Paul envisioned all those years ago. 

TpT is still a big part of my life all these years (and hair colors) later.  I know when I eventually retire from teaching, I will be able to do TpT full time.  I love creating and sharing resources (880 and counting) with all of you.

Kids will tell you everything! You know it is goi Kids will tell you everything!  You know it is going to be some drama when they start with “My mom told me not to tell you this but…” 

Parents, we know sometimes they exaggerate and we follow up for clarification, if we are concerned.  For example: One time a kid came in and said she was a 1 because her mom pushed her.  A little boy who was her neighbor and also in the class, said BUT she was trying to save you from getting hit by a car! 

What are some of the things you have heard or maybe your child has said?
