Did you know that Jenn, TTND’s CEO, created the NUMBER ONE Brain Teasers resource on TPT! 🤓

A lover of logic puzzles herself, Jenn meticulously created her Brain Teasers that include high level thinking activities for kids.

She made sure that are fun AND tough enough to make brains grow! 🧠💪

There’s 40 full pages of Brain Teasers included, which means that you’ll have plenty for early finishers or those 15 minutes you have after an assembly before you have to head to gym. IYKYK.

Anyone else dread the writing portion of the state standardized assessment? 😰

I know it’s not just me! 🙈

I can honestly say that I’ve had a nightmare where I’m walking behind my students, looking at their computer screen as they take their state assessment, and I watch them submit one or two sentences for the writing portion. 😱

Doing a little quick writing crash course before the big day is key to ensuring students write more than just a few words. ✏️

This step-by-step recipe gives kids the tools they need to craft a perfect paragraph, every time. ✅

Nope! It’s a cyclical process!

Love the way this anchor chart shows the writing process off for students! 🥰

When teaching the writing process, we like to convey that ALL writing can always be put back through the writing process.

This is a sneaky way to implement #growthmindset into the writing block.

We also printed this anchor chart on several pieces of paper and taped it together to make a GIANT chart to hang at the front of the classroom.

Students have a clothespin with their name on it that they can move along the side of the paper that tracks where they are within the writing process. 📌

This poster can be found within our F*R*E^E Explicit Writing Kickstarter Kit!

A moment of silence for this bulletin board as I mourn the fact that I took every letter down perfectly until I got to the G and ripped it in half. 😭

I’ll be breaking out my cricut to recreate it. 😅Just have to hope that I find that same shade in my gigantic paper pile. 🙏 #teacherproblems

If you’re wondering what this is, it’s the first bulletin board I put up way back when we started our Expository Writing Unit. 📝

I teach my students each part of the paragraph before they ever put pencil to paper and write themselves.

Want your jaw to drop? 😳

My students don’t write a complete paragraph for over three full weeks. (Sometimes four!) 😱

It’s SO worth it though!!

I give my students everything they need to craft the perfect paragraph, every. single. time.

We’re talking topic sentences, supporting ideas, details, transitions, and conclusions sentences.

All with concrete examples and practice, practice, practice. 🍎

If you want to get started with Explicit Writing Instruction too, you can grab the 50+ page Explicit Writing Kickstarter Kit from our site!
