POPULARITY
Last year, at this time, I was preparing to move from Bratislava to California when I released the episode we're revisiting today, all about the easiest way to approach the last day in ELA. And it turned out to be the most popular episode I've ever released, with more than 25,000 teachers tuning in. So it seems only fitting that as the end of the year approaches once again, and my life is ONCE AGAIN in boxes, preparing for our move on Thursday for a very new and exciting job for my husband in the Midwest, I would share this episode one more time. I hope it will make your last day of school a fun, creative, LOW-STRESS day that gives you a chance to say goodbye to your kiddos in a way that feels meaningful and relaxed. Lighthouse members, you'll find the last day stations in your seasonal section under "Spring."

A few engaging review activities for ELA come in handy around this time of year, as the calendar takes over and students pop off to random awards ceremonies, spirit events, and slideshows. Sometimes you see them for one day in a row, sometimes two, but getting in a groove is definitely a challenge! So, in case you're in search of creative review activities that will get students looking back over all that they've learned before a final project or exam, or just before heading off into the summer horizon, here are six. I'm going to base them on a fun review choice board I made for The Lighthouse seasonal section. So, Lighthouse members, be sure to snag it if you like the sound of all this!

Sure, there's no one right way to write an argument paper. It can be three paragraphs, nine, or even seventeen. It can be loaded with research. It can be full of voice and personal anecdotes. It can be intensely academic, with a formal objective perspective and thirty-two sources cited with MLA. We want our students to understand the rich palette of tools available to them, and mentor texts, varied writing assignments, and encouragement to try new things are all so important. But so is a place to start. Just as I think the 5 paragraph essay isn't dead, because we need it sometimes for skill foundations, I think a clear and simple formula for introductions can be really helpful for students who are struggling to write and organize a coherent argument. Honestly, it's the base I used for my English papers through my B.A. AND M.A. in English literature, and the one I made sure all my students knew how to use when they needed it. It's the foundation for more complex options. So today, I'm going to talk you through it. Go Further: Explore alllll the Episodes of The Spark Creativity Teacher Podcast.

Rianna kicks off the conversation by sharing her approach to balancing the demands of the curriculum with her desire to make lessons fun and engaging. She encourages teachers to think outside the box—bringing lessons outside, incorporating collaborative projects, and using interactive activities to keep students motivated and on track.When it comes to keeping students engaged, Rianna's secret lies in tapping into their interests and showing her own enthusiasm. She believes that when a teacher enjoys the lesson, it's contagious, and students are far more likely to be excited about learning.In addition to her teaching work, Rianna is a published author of two books, Tale of the Trolls and Return of the Trolls, which focus on environmental awareness and the impact of our actions. She discusses her motivation behind writing these books and how she incorporates their themes into her classroom to inspire environmental consciousness among her students.Main Talking Points:Balancing curriculum with creativityKeeping students engaged by connecting to their interestsClassroom management as a casual teacherBecoming a published author with a focus on environmental themesInvesting in versatile teaching resources for sustainable teachingTune in to discover her tips on teaching creatively, engaging students, and sustainable teaching practices.If you enjoyed this episode, please take a moment to leave us a 5-star review - we will be forever grateful.

Subscribe to our monthly newsletter! Download the Discussion Questions In this episode of the Fueling Creativity in Education Podcast, Dr. Matthew Worwood and Dr. Cyndi Burnett kick off their Winter 2025 Listen and Learn Series with a deep dive into the role of joy in creative teaching. Drawing inspiration from their interview with Dr. Susan Keller-Mathers, the conversation explores how teachers can rekindle joy, overcome burnout, and design flexible, engaging learning experiences for their students. Episode Highlights: Why joy is a key ingredient in creative teaching. Strategies for navigating burnout and reigniting passion for teaching. The importance of flexibility in lesson planning and adapting to challenges. Practical questions for professional learning communities (PLCs) to discuss and reflect on their practices. Key Quote from Dr. Susan Keller-Mathers: "Creative teaching is about your craft. It is about you as a teacher becoming more creative. And what that looks like is you are bringing more joy, more motivating activities, more curiosity to your own thinking about your lessons. It can lead a teacher on the path to burnout, to rejuvenating who they are and why they came into the profession." Discussion Questions for PLCs: When have you experienced joy in your teaching, and what contributed to it? What barriers do you encounter that hinder joy in your classroom? How do you intentionally incorporate joy and creativity into your lessons? What strategies can you use to rekindle joy when burnout occurs?

This week, I share my favorite teaching tips and ideas for the second half of my area and perimeter unit. Those lessons covered solving for missing dimensions, problem-solving with area, and a review lesson to help students prepare for the test. You'll hear ideas to help you teach these concepts in a visual and relatable manner, how to incorporate review skills in your small group activities, and fun ways to help students prepare for the test.

Area and perimeter was one of my favorite units to teach. I enjoyed helping students make real-world connections to what they were learning, and they enjoyed imagining that they were planting a garden or painting a bedroom wall. However, this unit came with its fair share of struggles. In my experience, area and perimeter taught in isolation were simple concepts for most students. They began to confuse the two concepts when they got to word problems, mainly because the words area and perimeter were never included in the word problems. Instead, they had to rely on context clues to determine whether to find the area or the perimeter. This was something I embedded into my lessons from the start! This week, I share my favorite teaching tips and ideas for the first three lessons in my area and perimeter unit on perimeter, area, and area of combined rectangles. I share helpful ways to teach students conceptual understanding and creative ways to embed other review skills into your small group activities. In addition, you'll hear a clever way to help students determine whether to multiply or divide when converting units of measure in the Teaching Tip of the Week.

How do we facilitate learning that invites inquiry and makes learning purposeful? In this episode of the Fueling Creativity in Education podcast, Dr. Cyndi Burnett and Dr. Matthew Worwood welcome Dr. Penny Hay, an artist, educator, and researcher in the field of culture and creativity. Penny's doctoral research focused on children's learning identities as artists. Tune in to learn Penny's approach to engaging children in learning through the arts and across the curriculum, what she's discovered in her research about children's learning identities as artists, and how you can start teaching art creatively in your classroom. “What art does is manifest and make visible creativity daily. So, it's a lovely approach to inviting possibility and a really creative approach to teaching art and design in the primary curriculum.” – Dr. Penny Hay Penny details the important role of the adult in children's learning, how to reimagine education with an inquiry-based approach, and the power of learning as a shared experience where you are your children's learning companion. “Imagine a world where our children are engaged in serious creative play, where their environments are full of space and light, where adults are companions in the children's inquiries about the world. Creative adults who show a deep respect for children's ideas, theories, and fascinations.” – Dr. Penny Hay Penny's Tips for Teachers and Parents: Invite possibility and openness to create an ethos that makes creativity visible. Go with the flow so that you genuinely follow children's fascinations.
