reteaching timelines to middle school students

Reinforcing Social Studies Skills–Timelines

By Stephanie's History Store on January 16, 2018 • ( Leave a comment )

I don’t make my kids memorize dates for every single event.  I do need them to know the Civil War happened before WW2, that JFK was a president after FDR, and for our curriculum that the XYZ Affair happened during Adams’ presidency, but I don’t expect them to […]

It seems like teachers, students, and schools have been getting hit by disaster after disaster lately.  Thankfully, I am part of an amazing community at Teachers Pay Teachers and we are always coming up with ways to help out and support where we can. Tomorrow and Monday, 10 […]

How Students Define Success

By Stephanie's History Store on September 27, 2017 • ( 2 Comments )

So it’s a bit more than a month into the school year and too many of our middle schoolers (admittedly mostly 7th and 8th graders, not as many 6th graders) have already been saying: –this is too hard –why do we have to learn this –I can’t read/write […]

my new go to method for managing early finishers

My New Options for Middle School Early Finishers

By Stephanie's History Store on August 27, 2017 • ( Leave a comment )

There are dozens of ways teachers can address students who finish their classwork early.  Over the years I’ve had a binder with small academic tasks (including some from here) for kids to choose which they wanted to complete, I’ve given them time to study for tests or to get […]

Secondary Teachers Love These 10 Classroom Supplies

By Stephanie's History Store on July 15, 2017 • ( 3 Comments )

Back to school shopping is here (arguably one of my favorite times of the year) so I asked some secondary teacher friends what their school supply “must haves” are and they had some really awesome responses.  Here are 10 school supplies some secondary teachers can’t wait to get […]

A Favorite Way for Students to Analyze Historical Images

By Stephanie's History Store on June 13, 2017 • ( 1 Comment )

As a history teacher, images from the past are vital to my classes every single day.  Kids need to see the past and make connections to it to fully understand, and hopefully appreciate, it.  I almost always use images (whether real or political cartoons) to introduce and review […]

End of Year Bulletin Board

By Stephanie's History Store on May 15, 2017 • ( Leave a comment )

I recently had my students make their last bulletin board of the year.  I envisioned it turning out one way, but it morphed into something much more and I was blown away by their conversations about it. I had it say, “One Word Reflections,” and in one word my […]

True, False, Fix: A Social Studies Review Game

By Stephanie's History Store on March 27, 2017 • ( 11 Comments )

Well it took almost a full school year, but thanks to a professional development I went to, I found a review technique ALL of my 7th graders were on board with. I call it “True, False, Fix.” The PD person led us through a variety of strategies, and […]

How My Students are Celebrating Women’s History Month

By Stephanie's History Store on March 4, 2017 • ( Leave a comment )

Well it’s March, so that means it’s Women’s History Month.  I felt extra pressure to acknowledge it the most effective and impactful way this year since I have middle school girls.  I wanted this to mean something to them, not be something they roll their eyes about.  There […]
