63 FREE Distance Learning and Homeschooling Resources for COVID-19 Closures

This is a title graphic in horizontal Facebook format with the text "63 FREE Distance Learning & Homeschooling Resources for COVID-19 Closures" on it

What a crazy, crazy time we’re all living through right now. I think it’s safe to say that none of us could have expected the drastic measures that have been taken in recent months to try to treat and slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus on a global scale, let alone that schools everywhere would be calling for closures. If you’re a teacher now finding yourself thrust into a distance learning environment, or if you’re a parent now finding yourself in a homeschooling environment, then I wanted to do what I can to help. That’s why I reached out to my Teachers Pay Teachers community and rounded up FREE resources to share with you.

Teaching Wonder in 6th Grade

A large rectangular graphic with the words Teaching Wonder in 6th Grade on it

If you’ve been a human in the last several years, then you’re aware of the knockout, well-loved novel Wonder by R.J. Palacio. The book was first published in 2012, and I was in the second half of my M.Ed. program at that time. It just so happened that there were a few of us from my cohort all placed at the same middle school, with four of us actually on the same 6th grade team (and one more on the other 6th grade team). While I was in the social studies classroom on that team, one of my peers was in the ELA classroom, and she taught Wonder to our students that spring, when it was brand-spanking-new.

How to Make Spelling Fun for Kids

A large rectangular graphic with the words How to Make Spelling Fun for Kids on it

As a middle school teacher, I didn’t usually have to explicitly teach spelling. However, I did have to explicitly teach spelling in my first year of teaching, when I taught 6th grade English language arts. I was a little thrown off by this, because I didn’t think that spelling was taught beyond elementary school, but it was required of me, so I did it, obviously. 🙂 But then, that begged the question of how to make spelling fun for kids? I think we all know that kids, no matter what age, are not jumping for joy to be assigned spelling homework.

2 Steps I Took to Improve My Teachers Pay Teachers Store

A large rectangular graphic with the words 2 Steps I Took to Improve My Teachers Pay Teachers Store on it

Now, this is a story all about how…I started my Teachers Pay Teachers store. 😉 I began professionally teaching (as in, I had all of my degrees and a teaching license) during the 2012-2013 school year. I used TpT as a buyer during that school year, and it was, I think, at some point during 2013 that I switched from being a buyer to being a seller and started my store. I’m not sure exactly when I started my seller account, but I didn’t have any sales until the last quarter of 2013 – I know that from my data. And, as much as I wanted to make some extra income off of my store, I never really took it that seriously.

How to Grade Student Writing Quickly

A large rectangular graphic with the words How to Grade Student Writing Quickly on it

When I was still teaching, I had to teach writing every single year. Every. Single. Year. And while I wanted to teach English Language Arts, it was not my favorite thing to teach students writing, and it was even less of a favorite thing to grade student writing. However, each year that I was in the classroom, that’s what I found myself doing many times throughout the school year.
