The SMART Goals Worksheet from Lake Superior State University is an easy-to-use tool that helps students set clear and realistic goals. It guides them to make goals that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. The worksheet asks simple questions, such as the goal, progress measurement criteria, and the goal date to complete the project. It also includes a section for creating an action plan that lists steps to take, potential challenges, and helpful resources. This worksheet is useful for teaching students how to plan, stay focused, and work toward their goals in an organized way.
tag(s): thinking skills (125)
In the Classroom
Have students brainstorm personal, academic, or classroom goals (for example, reading more, improving writing, or being kinder on the playground). Then guide them through completing the SMART Goals Worksheet together to turn a simple idea into a clear, structured goal. Have students pair up to share their SMART goals and action plans. Partners can give friendly feedback by checking if the goals are specific, measurable, and realistic. Create a "Goal Wall" where students post their goals (or just the focus area, like "Reading" or "Organization"). Update the wall as students reach milestones to celebrate effort and growth.

Paul Getty Museum enables students to investigate how artists respond to real historical events, from struggles for human rights to changes in communities and cultures.

Present a powerful artwork from the resource and have students silently observe before sharing what they see, what they think is happening, and what they wonder. Students infer the person represented in the artwork and what message the artist wants viewers to understand. Have them write a short "artist statement" or a mini-narrative from the perspective of someone in the image. After discussing how art can influence social change, students can create posters with positive messages that support fairness, kindness, or community issues. They should explain their design choices and connect their posters to themes found in the original artwork. Make posters digitally using DesignCap Poster Creator, reviewed here.

This lesson plan, titled "Thinking Flexibly," focuses on helping students understand what flexible thinking looks like, how it differs from rigid thinking, and how they can develop it as a habit of mind. The objectives include explaining what "thinking flexibly" means, identifying examples and non-examples, transforming rigid-thinking scenarios into flexible ones, and applying the skill in the classroom, home, and real-world contexts. The plan includes definition, examples, group practice, and reflection to help students internalize the mindset shift.
tag(s): flexibility (9), thinking skills (125)
In the Classroom
Present students with everyday classroom situations (for example, "You forgot your homework" or "Your partner disagrees with your idea"). Have them sort these into rigid or flexible thinking responses and discuss what makes each one different. Have students reflect weekly on moments when they practiced flexibility in school or at home, describing how adapting their thinking helped them succeed. In science or math, challenge students to find two different methods to reach the same result, showing that flexible thinking leads to problem-solving success.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Step aboard a literary voyage through history with this Reading Trek inspired by Jean Lee Latham's novel, Carry On, Mr. Bowditch, designed as a virtual field trip that uses an integrated Google My Maps experience along with an accompanying Teachers' Guide featuring lesson activities, map extensions, and discussion prompts. The story traces the life of Nathaniel Bowditch, a determined, self-educated mathematician and navigator whose passion for learning helps him overcome hardship and make lasting contributions to navigation and science. Set in late 18th- and early 19th-century New England and aboard merchant ships traveling the globe, the novel weaves together history, geography, and mathematics while highlighting themes of perseverance, curiosity, and intellectual growth. Best suited for grades 7-9, this Reading Trek aligns with the Common Core ELA Standards, mathematical practices, and social studies skills, using close reading, map exploration, and interdisciplinary activities to build content knowledge while strengthening critical thinking, collaboration, and real-world connections across subject areas.
tag(s): map skills (67)
In the Classroom
Bring Nathaniel Bowditch's seafaring journey to life with hands-on activities that engage students in reflection, research, and problem-solving while exploring Carry On, Mr. Bowditch. Begin by having students respond to the prompt "What's something you wish you knew before starting something new?" using a classwide survey created with Slido, reviewed here, then discuss how their responses connect to Nat's early challenges learning mathematics and navigation at sea. Extend learning by assigning groups to research common 18th-century sailor hardships, such as scurvy, isolation, or storm-related injuries, and create an informative visual using Canva Infographic Creator, reviewed here that explains causes, effects, and solutions while highlighting how Bowditch responded through persistence and self-education. As students read, have them collaborate on a digital vocabulary and concepts board using Stormboard, reviewed here, where they define maritime terms, illustrate navigation ideas, and link each concept to locations on the Reading Trek map, reinforcing how mathematics, learning, and determination shaped Bowditch's success and impacted the lives of those who sailed with him.

If you want to deepen students' understanding of the winter solstice through nature, story, and science, the Educational Curriculum: Winter Solstice from Sierra Club BC offers a rich and thoughtful collection of lessons. This resource includes four interconnected modules that explore the solstice through physical science, cultural traditions, ecological rhythms, and sustainability-focused celebration. Each lesson encourages students to observe seasonal patterns, connect with the land, learn from Indigenous knowledge, and reflect on how humans and nature respond to winter. It is a meaningful way to blend science, social studies, storytelling, and environmental awareness in the classroom.
tag(s): cultures (290), earth (192), seasonal (48), seasons (59), sun (87), sustainability (55)
In the Classroom
Read a winter-themed story that reflects cultural or seasonal traditions, then have students share a short reflection about a tradition or memory from winter in their own lives. After learning about seasonal cycles, have students design a simple "celebration of light" activity, such as creating lanterns from recycled materials or writing hopes for the coming season. Take students outside to observe signs of winter in plants, animals, and weather. They can record observations in a nature journal and write a few sentences about how living things adapt during this season, echoing the "Rhythms and Patterns" module.
