Editable Chevron Planner

Colorful High School Math

This is a completely editable 2013-2014 teacher planner. I only have 2 preps, so I used one page for each course. The font I used is KG Strawberry Limeade that I downloaded for free from dafont.com . I use it to plan both my daily lessons as well as for the week and month ahead. I've already gotten many compliments on it, and I know you will too! :) The preview does not do the planner justice. It is not as grainy once it is downloaded!

Create A Nail Polish Line - Romeo and Juliet

Created by

Alicia Sneddon

A line of nail polishes representing The Hunger Games was released earlier this month. It struck me that it might be fun for the students to create a nail polish line based on another set of star-crossed lovers: Romeo and Juliet. This activity would not only allow students to be creative, but to show their understanding of the events and characters in the story.
