In this episode, I’m sharing a few of my favorite paperless swaps you can use in your lessons to celebrate Earth Day in a meaningful, creative way—without printing a single worksheet.
You’ll hear ideas that work for math, ELA and science—all hands-on, tech-free, and totally doable. These are the kinds of ideas that make teaching feel fun again, while still hitting your standards and supporting your students’ SEL growth.
If you’ve been craving something fresh that doesn’t require extra planning (or a trip to the copy room), this one’s for you.
Pick just one of the ideas I shared and give it a try. You’ve got this—and I’d love to hear how it goes!
