Unit Ideas and Books to Remember September 11th

September 1, 2017 By Dani Wagner 4 Comments

Last year I published a unit on the fantastic novel, Towers Falling by Jewell Parker Rhodes. September 11th is a monumental piece of modern history, one I think is important to teach. In this post I wanted to share a few more books that you can use in your classroom or at home to touch on the subject of 9/11 with your kiddos. Though many are picture books, don't let that deter you from checking them out. Some of these picture books will captivate your youngest readers all the way up to your … [Read more...]

Inner Struggle Mom versus Teacher: Ways to Combat Spring Fever

March 24, 2017 By Dani Wagner 2 Comments

Inner Struggle: Mom versus Teacher

OK so here's my problem... I am two completely different and separate people.  Part of me is mom, mom who has three kids, a dog, house and no life. The other half of me is a teacher, a teacher who taught middle school for 6 years and likes things very structured. It's a constant inner struggle and sometimes those two don't mesh well (see my personal growth mission about Perfectionism1 and 2). Inner Struggle As a mom when it's rainy, cold, and yucky I want to play games, watch movies, and … [Read more...]
