Helping our students to become better writers is a passion of ours. We always love to share instructional ideas and this week we are honored to have a feature article in the ASCD Express issue on well-argued writing. The issue's focus is on "how teachers, in all subject areas, are helping students approach argument writing with a sense of inquiry—generating relevant theses or claims that are supported with clear reasoning and vetted evidence."

In our article, we offer a range of lessons and activities that can be used to teach this kind of writing in elementary and middle school.

BubbleUp Take5: #CharlottesvilleCurriculum

8/15/2017

Living in Northern Virginia, the recent events in Charlottesville hit very close to home.   Teachers across the country have taken to the internet to voice support and to provide resources for fellow educators (using the hashtag #CharlottesvilleCurriculum). We believe that our classrooms are places to teach kids content, but first and foremost we need to teach them to be caring, kind, responsible human beings who approach the world's problems with hearts full of hope and love. In that spirit, we've highlighted several resources as this week's Take5. We hope that these resources will help you and your students to begin addressing racial hatred and violence in America. These are tough, painful topics, but we know that teachers are up to the task. It's our job. It's our passion. It's our opportunity to build a better future for our students and as important, our country.

Back to school, back to reality

Heading back to school after a fun summer hanging out with my kids, beach vacations, afternoons at the pool, and lots of time spent with family and friends is tough. The beginning of the school year always brings lots of emotions: I'm excited about a fresh start and bringing new ideas to our library program, looking forward to seeing my teaching colleagues and meeting new staff, happy to get our family back on a more regular schedule, but I also always feel a bit of melancholy about leaving the freedom of summer. Thus, in order to make it through this stressful time of year, I offer you some tips to ease the transition.
