students to do? Well you’re in luck! We have a great Thanksgiving word search for your students to enjoy. Put that restless energy into a themed activity and help build excitement for the long weekend in the process!

Our Thanksgiving word search includes many common words associated with Thanksgiving. Either give it to students as a fun activity, or use it in your lessons to teach more about the meaning of Thanksgiving! It is a holiday revolving around being grateful, family, and friends. Emphasize this before students leave for the holidays.

Holidays are very important, and it is essential that students understand the meaning of holidays, not just that

they get days off from school. Share this in lesson plans while your students enjoy the end of a short school week.

Jack-O-Lantern Cut-out

Halloween is only a week away! Are you looking for a fun, easy project to do with your students? Then we have the perfect thing for you. Our Jack-O-Lantern cut-out is great for young students!

Take our image and print it out to give to your students. Students can then color their pumpkin and draw whatever face they want on it. It can be scary or silly, it doesn’t matter. Students may then cut out their pumpkins and will have a fun Halloween decoration. These are fun to let students take home, or even hang around your classroom.

This is a great last minute activity because it takes so little preparation. It’s a great activity for restless students who are excited for the approaching holiday.

Everyone here at TeachersSquare.com hope that you have a fun and safe Halloween. Remind your students to be safe during their Halloween activities as well, especially if your local community does trick or treating at night.

While doing this activity, maybe you can tell your students about where this Halloween tradition of pumpkin carving came from. Or you might ask if they’ve carved any pumpkins yet, or plan to. Make the time leading up to Halloween fun for everyone!

Back To School

The new school year is underway. Teaching new students is a very exciting and rewarding thing. For some of you, this might be your first year teaching. If that’s the case you might already find yourselves overwhelmed by your new environment. If that is the case then we are here to offer you some tips, whether you’re brand new or having a rough start of the school year!

1.       Build relationships within the school. It might be tempting to hide out during your lunch break and talk to friends, but mingle with other teachers. They will have a lot of advice for you.

2.       Build relationships with your students and their parents. Make sure you are accessible to both parties. The students and parents need to trust you. Be open to meeting students after class and having meetings with parents. You can’t be a successful educator if you don’t build a relationship with those you are supposed to teach.

3.       Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Ask other teachers, the principals, or even your old professors. It is always better to ask questions.

4.       If you’ve not gained full control of your classroom, it’s not too late. Don’t get frustrated or give up. It is still early in the school year.

5.       Collaborate with your colleagues. This makes you less isolated from the rest of the school and allows you to share ideas and lessons, create projects, and more with help.

6.       Engage with your students. Make interactive lessons that require participation. After summer, students may be hesitant to get too involved. Simply lecturing them gives students the opportunity to stop listening to what you are saying.

7.       Take time for yourself away from school. Don’t focus on your job constantly. You need time to yourself. Read a book. Watch your favorite TV show. Go for a walk. Do something just for you every day, even if it’s just a few minutes.

8.       Set aside a certain amount of time each day to grade. It may be tempting to leave it to the last minute, but you will regret it.

9.       Document parent and administrator contact with dates and notes. It may get tiresome, but having a reference can really help you later.

10.   Have fun. If you aren’t having fun teaching, your students will know. Remember why you joined this field and embrace it!

Everyone here at TeachersSquare.com wishes you an exciting, successful school year!
