No excuses —none!

Helpful Stuff

(The following links are Amazon affiliate links, but don’t worry, it does not affect your price at all :)) 

These amazing removable, waterproof, dishwasher-and-freezer-safe, self-laminating labels are not just perfect for the house but I use them at school too!

​I label the hot chocolate, coffee, and tea containers that I have available for students in my classroom.

I also use them to label all my ceramic plates and cups I leave in the cupboards in the teacher’s lounge (since they have a habit of growing legs and disappearing from time to time, lol).

They have also helped save the life of some utensils I leave at work for making my lunch.

Since we have a dishwasher in the teacher’s lounge, I’ve made sure to label all my utensils that are not dishwasher safe, because many have sadly met their demise in the dishwasher, haha.

Here’s a pic of a basting brush that we all use with our new air fryer!

​As you can see, the label has gone through several washes already and still looks good as new! These amazing little labels have paid themselves off tenfold with the money & time saved by not having to replace things over and over again!

Recommendations

Who doesn’t love to argue and win?

Check out our “Student Lawyers: Criminal Court Mock Trials & Cases with PowerPoint” lesson to help your students sharpen their critical thinking skills and have fun trying to win the case for their client!

This activity is perfect as a filler activity or as a full class-period lesson to improve students’ logic and reasoning skills!

You decide the duration for the activity and in my experience we have often extended it to a few days (as long as we get through the required stuff first) and boy, are they motivated to get to this activity!

Here's a quick video summary of this awesome activity!

With the evidence slanted in the prosecuting attorney’s favor, your students will really have to bring their A-game to win!

A Little Inspiration

This AMAZING podcast episode entitled “Enjoy It Now” (from the show Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore) reminds us of the importance of being present and enjoying the blessings you have NOW. 

Enjoying *every* bite of your food.

Not putting off the really important things because “how you spend your time, what you give your attention to, is the deepest, truest reflection of your priorities .”

BAM!
