3 of My Favorite Ways to Introduce a New History Topic

By Stephanie's History Store on January 13, 2016 • ( 22 Comments )

No one wants to get in a teaching rut.  That leads to a bored teacher and bored students which turns into not-so-engaged students which decreases their chances for learning and retaining information.  So one thing I try to do is use different strategies/techniques/activities each time we get to a […]

5 Reasons to Review with List Group Label

By Stephanie's History Store on January 5, 2016 • ( Leave a comment )

When I was introduced to list-group-label in my education classes, I mentally scoffed at it.  I didn’t see the value in it, I thought it was painlessly simplistic, and that it couldn’t possibly offer any real value to students.  Well, I officially take all that back.  I’ve used […]

Why My Students Will Always Be “My Kids”

By Stephanie's History Store on December 19, 2015 • ( Leave a comment )

Every year without fail, by the second week of school I’m referring to my students as “my kids” to my friends and family.  It almost happens without my realizing it, because to me it’s totally natural.  I never really gave much thought to it, then I started seeing […]

Keeping Students Engaged with Christmas Break in Sight

By Stephanie's History Store on December 12, 2015 • ( Leave a comment )

An unexpected perk of teaching home schooled kids is that I can have them do holiday activities next week!  I have never been able to do so before because as a high school teacher we had so many boxes to check in December in terms of content, prepping for finals, […]

Parent Teacher Conferences Part 1

By Stephanie's History Store on December 5, 2015 • ( 2 Comments )

As a high school teacher I never had parent teacher conferences.  I was never remotely jealous of my elementary school teacher friends that did have them.  Yes of course I communicated with parents (about both the positive and negative with their child) but I never had the multi-hour […]

One Semester Down, One To Go

By Stephanie's History Store on November 28, 2015 • ( 1 Comment )

Well there was a huge learning curve for me this semester but I feel like I’ve kept my head above water.  I feel like I have a good grasp on what type of work challenges my kids, what is a good match for them, and what is an […]
