EPISODE 29: Teaching in December: Easy Winter Classroom Ideas for Middle School

It’s December and you’re a teacher. If these two things are true, I don’t need to spend much time explaining why it is such a stressful time of year. You’re busy at school and you’re busy at home. The tasks never end. Instead of stressing, take a deep breath, grab a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine…no judgment), and listen for easy winter classroom ideas to not only survive December but crush it as well. 


We will discuss:

  • The Key:  Planning
  • Winter Classroom ideas
  • Keeping some of the activities on the fun side
  • Holiday Movies
  • Holiday Parties
  • Holiday Games
  • The day back from winter break

Let’s connect!
