English & Language Arts Teacher BlogThis blog is for secondary English, ELA, and language arts teachers filled with lesson plans, humor, product recommendations, teaching ideas, tips, and tricks and much more! This week’s a good week for good choices! But First, A Chuckle! This show is this week’s recommendation, so more info in that section below! Helpful Stuff I know many of you are go-getters and doers but also keep in mind that it’s summer and as much as we want to check off everything in our to-do list, it just might not be possible to do EVERYTHING. Since I am at home most of the time with my 2 & 4 -yr-old boys, there’s not a whole lot of time for working, as you can imagine, lol. So what I’ve been doing to manage these lofty aspirations and goals is to choose one big thing per day that if I accomplish that would make it a successful day in my book. What one major thing done tomorrow would make it a win for you? Try it out and let us know how it goes! Don’t forget to tag us in your posts on Instagram as @shining_scholar_education and Facebook as Shining Scholar Education! Because through helping others, we all win! Recommendations As you saw in the video trailer above, I have to recommend this hilarious show called Abbott Elementary! Since Ted Lasso has finished, I was looking for a good show to help me unwind in my limited free time and this show is perfect, especially for teachers! Even though it centers around an elementary school, it still strikes a chord with teachers of every grade because the show’s teachers face the hilarious situations that we are all familiar with: fundraising, quirky students, parent conferences, lack of funding, etc. This fantastic show is available on Hulu.com. A Little Inspiration Here’s one of the best quotes from one of my favorite shows of all time, The Office (American version): I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them. -Andy Bernard Many of us are in one of the many seasons of good old days now so let’s enjoy them!
