This myth perpetuates the idea that mathematical ability is an inherent trait that some students possess while others do not.

There are several diverse picture choices for students to color based on their preferences.<br /><br />The second glyph is titled, "Learning Styles." In this glyph, students will color school object to help the teacher determine if students are auditory, visual or tactile learners. If you see a lot of red, you have many auditory learners. If you see mostly blue, you have many visual learners. Finally, if you see a lot of yellow, you have many tactile learners. This is a great quick assessment for your classroom learning styles!<br /><br />The third glyph is titled, "My Favorites." Students will color a bus to help you understand a little more of their preferences in the school setting.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/All-About-Me-Worksheets-Back-to-School-Activities-Learning-Styles-Coloring-Pages-1263769?utm_source=PS%20Blog%20Post&utm_campaign=AllAboutMeLearningStyles" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="all about me learning styles inventory" border="0" data-original-height="864" data-original-width="864" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEenJyHeJ5_jfkL48mkNwJhfHocGUaighDPxMNppABweLCCXpJAdALxiN4otzrhKMdk7_juwmkIUfW9MravRwROqNnizQvyRxCX-8OywgL4K2YzgGFdjQrKIrsZUG0sqt2qNbGlEoj_ymDqeo8hgb80EfTbHmn8-B4hCGSonFeqhwWBde2WneXmW-tKGJV/w400-h400/GLYPHS%20COVER%202020%20F.png" title="all about me learning styles inventory" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/All-About-Me-Worksheets-Back-to-School-Activities-Learning-Styles-Coloring-Pages-1263769?utm_source=PS%20Blog%20Post&utm_campaign=AllAboutMeLearningStyles" rel="nofollow" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="192" data-original-width="600" height="64" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjou7RuBZENaZRL77p0V0nLh0CmBlbFua-UGGs71cDEsPG1lBDDp0GPs2GYHM_QeaSCPlT8k9Ut_7s6a5NK5nq9iRjD1IqzM4t2LkwzrzCg6rUGARbYv6XR8XI7JR-E74nqvY3n88GJ0wNVnK6riaPxLWppsgyO8u0hNI2FiqQ66AiC3jAxa0ka9PcDmU1T/w200-h64/click-here-hi.png" width="200" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Click <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Promoting-Success">HERE</a> to view our Teachers Pay Teachers Promoting Success store.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc755GSjgeduHMtNl2_Nq7bnTy6bv4xtUP5yt5jtBJkOSsqQu6b-4RrBNpeSfEFqUxsRMZ3kbfnaEjKvwKHMS4cObP__9VdAbCdY_bcleAgkEtR1jC5-U75W7c-KNCvSWo7NT2T8oQAw6G/s1600/New+Signature+%25282%2529.jpg" style="color: #3778cd; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc755GSjgeduHMtNl2_Nq7bnTy6bv4xtUP5yt5jtBJkOSsqQu6b-4RrBNpeSfEFqUxsRMZ3kbfnaEjKvwKHMS4cObP__9VdAbCdY_bcleAgkEtR1jC5-U75W7c-KNCvSWo7NT2T8oQAw6G/s400/New+Signature+%25282%2529.jpg" style="background: transparent; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid transparent; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px; position: relative;" /></span></a></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444;"><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Shelly Anton is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. ** This means there are Amazon affiliate links in these blog posts.

By exploring diverse traditions, customs, and celebrations associated with Christmas in different countries, students gain a broader perspective on the world's rich cultural tapestry. This global approach to Christmas education encourages tolerance, empathy, and respect for cultural differences. Moreover, it enhances students' critical thinking skills as they compare and contrast various customs, deepening their understanding of the interconnectedness of our global community. Integrating Christmas around the world into the curriculum not only aligns with the principles of a well-rounded education but also prepares students to thrive in an increasingly interconnected and multicultural world.</span></h3><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Here is a list of 10 activity ideas to get you and your students started:</span></h4><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b>1.

By making thoughtful adjustments, we can create a space that supports the diverse needs of our students. Consider the arrangement of furniture, ensuring it promotes collaboration and accessibility. Providing a variety of seating options can accommodate different learning styles and comfort preferences.<br /><br /><b>Lighting and Sensory Considerations: </b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">The impact of lighting and sensory stimuli cannot be underestimated. Adjusting lighting levels and sources can create a calming or energizing atmosphere based on student needs. Additionally, consider sensory-friendly elements such as reducing visual distractions, incorporating textures, and providing quiet spaces for students to self-regulate.<br /><b><br />Organization and Visual Supports: </b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">A well-organized classroom fosters a sense of structure and reduces anxiety for students. Clear visual cues, labels, and visual schedules assist students in understanding expectations and navigating their learning environment. Creating designated areas for specific activities can help students focus and transition smoothly.<br /><br /><b>Supporting Individual Needs: </b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Every student is unique, and considering their individual needs is essential. Be proactive in gathering input from students and their families to understand their preferences, challenges, and accommodations. This collaboration will guide the implementation of environmental adjustments that cater to specific needs, such as seating preferences, assistive technology, or mobility considerations.<br /><br /><b>Ready to take your classroom environment to the next level</b>? </span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">This newly created guidebook, "Environmental Adjustments for Any Classroom" provides practical strategies, expert insights, and additional resources.

This project offers a range of educational benefits and promises to be a valuable learning experience for our students.<br /><br />Throughout this project, your child will have the opportunity to dive deep into the study of a chosen country. They will develop essential research skills, such as gathering information from various sources, evaluating its credibility, and synthesizing their findings. These skills will empower them to become independent learners, fostering a sense of curiosity and a lifelong love for exploration.<br /><br />One of the key advantages of this project is its ability to promote global awareness and cultural understanding. By delving into different countries, your child will gain valuable insights into the diverse cultures and perspectives that exist in our world. They will develop empathy and tolerance, appreciating the richness that comes from embracing different traditions and ways of life.<br /><br />Language arts skills will also be strengthened through this project. Your child will engage in extensive reading, enhancing their comprehension abilities and expanding their vocabulary. They will also have the opportunity to hone their written and oral communication skills as they present their research findings to their classmates, fostering confidence and effective self-expression.<br /><br />By integrating social studies and geography, the project provides a holistic understanding of the chosen country. Your child will gain knowledge about its political, economic, and social aspects, as well as its geographical features. This interdisciplinary approach encourages students to make connections between different subjects, deepening their understanding and critical thinking abilities.<br /><br />Furthermore, this project nurtures creativity and presentation skills. Your child will have the freedom to showcase their research in innovative ways, whether through multimedia presentations, artistic representations, or engaging demonstrations. This encourages creative thinking, problem-solving, and the ability to effectively communicate ideas to others.<br /><br />We are excited to witness the growth and development your child will experience through this project. It will broaden their horizons, stimulate their curiosity, and prepare them to become knowledgeable, compassionate, and engaged global citizens.<br /><br />We will be providing further details about the project timeline, guidelines, and resources in the coming weeks. We encourage you to support your child's research journey by engaging in discussions, assisting with resources, and celebrating their accomplishments.<br /><br />Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership in creating a rich and dynamic learning environment for our students. Together, we can inspire a lifelong passion for learning and a deep appreciation for the world we live in.<br /><br />Warm regards,</i></span><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /><br /></span><div><span><!--more--></span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">You may also wish to look at these highly rated country research resources from my Amazon Associate store:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzn.to/3MOWDdU" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Red Bicycle Culture Studies" border="0" data-original-height="2560" data-original-width="1926" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD3CNar0Dvh5N4vNv9HCynONKDbPvvyPKLNUQfpZbcx_zOLK5GTNf1eNAF4aS46TfVe9xsB2hmtIFaXkY-VDjlTv2vBN8Q_7xLNAtUeGVK50O19zBNBtgtqRac-k5e1T-1VA-tUfDBUd_7c8AGUigy5BHNj8IxDEr5XxUmJFq7tesfnXXXQrmuuJhgsA/w301-h400/bike.jpg" width="301" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://amzn.to/3OwVWaf" target="_blank">The Red Bicycle: The Extraordinary Story of One Ordinary Bicycle (CitizenKid)</a></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">This book makes an excellent choice for cultural studies classes; author Jude Isabella has provided several terrific suggestions in the back of the book for projects large and small, while a map shows the distance the bicycle traveled across the Atlantic Ocean.

Section 504 is a federal law designed to protect the rights of individuals with disabilities in programs and activities that receive Federal financial assistance from the department. OCR enforces section 504 in public elementary and secondary schools.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><span class="redactor-invisible-space" style="font-family: helvetica;">These laws help us understand that free isn't always equal; however, this information doesn't really help you help the students sitting right in front of you.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><span class="redactor-invisible-space" style="font-family: helvetica;">I spent pretty much my entire career teaching students with special education needs. I taught preschool, junior high (most at 3-5th grade level), high school, and even alternative education (hardest and most loved position). I was also a special education director for a few years. Even with that being said, I'm no expert. Every student is different, so what works with one student may not work with another. However, there are several best practices in terms of accommodations and modifications. It is also super important for students to be taught HOW to implement the accommodations, to have observable data in order to monitor progress, and to always have ongoing evaluation of each accommodation implemented. Also, don't do too many at once because how will you know which one is working?</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><span class="redactor-invisible-space" style="font-family: helvetica;">Accommodations are</span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> adjustments made to the learning environment or instructional methods to help students with disabilities have equal access to educational opportunities. These accommodations are required by law under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in programs and activities that receive federal funding. Here are some possible Section 504 accommodations:</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Here is a list of accommodations to implement with your students if needed:<br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b>1. Visual aids:</b> Using visual aids such as diagrams, pictures, videos, and graphs can help students better understand complex concepts and retain information.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><b style="font-family: helvetica;">2. Technology: </b><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Technology can be a great tool for students with different learning needs. For example, students with reading difficulties can use text-to-speech software or audiobooks, while students with fine motor difficulties can use speech-to-text software or a keyboard.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><b style="font-family: helvetica;">3. Differentiated instruction:</b><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> Teachers can use differentiated instruction by providing different ways for students to access the material, such as offering alternative texts or providing hands-on activities. This approach allows students to learn in a way that is best suited to their individual needs.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><b style="font-family: helvetica;">4. Collaborative learning:</b><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> Collaborative learning involves working in small groups or pairs. This approach can help students who may struggle with individual tasks but thrive in a more social environment.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><b style="font-family: helvetica;">5. Flexible seating: </b><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Flexible seating allows students to choose where they sit and how they sit. This approach can help students who may have difficulty sitting still for long periods or who may need to move around to focus.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><b style="font-family: helvetica;">6. Extended time:</b><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> Allowing students more time to complete assignments or tests can help those who need more time to process information and work at their own pace.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><b style="font-family: helvetica;">7. Simplified language: </b><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Using simplified language can help students who struggle with reading comprehension or who are non-native speakers of the language.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><b style="font-family: helvetica;">8. Multi-modal instruction:</b><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> Incorporating multiple modes of instruction, such as visual, auditory, and kinesthetic, can help students learn in different ways and retain information better.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><b style="font-family: helvetica;">9. Manipulatives: </b><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Manipulatives are physical objects, such as blocks, counters, or cubes, that students can use to visualize and represent mathematical concepts. Manipulatives can be particularly helpful for students who struggle with abstract concepts.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><b style="font-family: helvetica;">10. Visual aids:</b><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> Visual aids, such as charts, graphs, and diagrams, can help students better understand math concepts and procedures by providing a visual representation of the information.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><b style="font-family: helvetica;">11. Accommodations for language barriers</b><span style="font-family: helvetica;">: For students whose first language is not English, accommodations such as translated materials or a bilingual math teacher can help them better understand the material.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><b style="font-family: helvetica;">12. Modified assignments:</b><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> Modified assignments that are tailored to students' individual needs can help them better understand and master math concepts.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><b style="font-family: helvetica;">13. Alternative assessments:</b><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> Offering alternative forms of assessment, such as oral or written presentations, can provide students with alternative ways to demonstrate their understanding of math concepts.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><b style="font-family: helvetica;">14. Audio books:</b><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> Audio books can be used to help students who struggle with reading comprehension or who have difficulty decoding text. By listening to a book while following along with the text, students can improve their reading fluency and comprehension.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><b style="font-family: helvetica;">15. Graphic organizers:</b><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> Graphic organizers, such as mind maps or concept maps, can help students organize their thoughts and ideas while reading. These organizers can be particularly helpful for students who struggle with sequencing or recalling information.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><b style="font-family: helvetica;">16. Highlighters and sticky notes:</b><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> Using highlighters and sticky notes can help students identify important information while reading and improve their retention of key concepts.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><b style="font-family: helvetica;">17. Vocabulary support:</b><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> Providing support for vocabulary can help students who struggle with reading comprehension. This can include providing definitions, context clues, or visuals to help students better understand unfamiliar words.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><b style="font-family: helvetica;">18. One-on-one instruction:</b><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> Providing one-on-one instruction can help students who need additional support with reading. This can include working with a reading specialist or tutor.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b>19. Note-taking assistance: </b></span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Providing note-taking assistance, such as a note-taking service or a copy of the teacher's notes, can help students with disabilities who have difficulty taking notes during class.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><b style="font-family: helvetica;">20. Behavioral support: </b><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Providing behavioral support, such as a behavior plan or a sensory-friendly environment, can help students with disabilities who struggle with behavior or sensory issues.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">It's important to note that accommodations should be based on individual needs and strengths, and should be used in conjunction with evidence-based instructional practices. They should also be determined through a collaborative process involving the student, parent/guardian, and school staff.

<div style="text-align: center;">
HOWEVER...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Think about it...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the classroom, what is the ONE main thing teachers must do to ensure students are achieving success?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I mean....how do YOU KNOW when students are achieving success?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How do YOU KNOW your methods and strategies are working?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How do YOU KNOW when they aren't working and you need to change it up?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You use a variety of assessments:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
diagnostic</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
formative</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
benchmark</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
summative</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
THEN..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You LOOK at the data and analyze it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
VOILA!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Stick with me... I'll give you the link in a second from a seller who figured it out!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
TpT is an amazing marketplace driving millions of traffic to our stores.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been selling since the beginning, and let me tell you, they have improved tremendously on giving us the ability to track URLs, access the sources of our traffic and sales from each.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have the ability to download spreadsheets for any given time frame!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BUT THEN WHAT?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I mean I've sorted it, filtered it, but then struggled.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You see, over the years I've changed titles and changed prices.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Title changes mess with the filters! Ugh!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But there is an EASY SOLUTION!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Sales-Dashboard-2018-2019-4874489" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="672" data-original-width="672" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAVoyxldfUD02sErEG_mXm_xlU9j8_5D9alnY4qYMexeSbQQ-7RZw0z79xHeJZSqq5adKVa12lC1c-SEErIQHBJVjP0fSmD1dQWbp3VgGzLoKTT8mDPvMte3gAL3pL1amnpbrQgj33XkXY/s400/Slide1.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found this seller, <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Sales-Dashboard-2018-2019-4874489" target="_blank">TDS Resources</a>, from a Facebook group.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't even buy it right away. (DUH)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, I decided the price was so reasonable, what did I have to lose?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
NOTHING,<br />
<br />
but I GAINED a world of USEFUL data to make sound decisions for my store.<br />
<br />
BTW, I don't get any commission from this and don't even know the seller.<br />
<br />
I do know this is a legit spreadsheet and the seller is SUPER helpful!<br />
<br />
Onward...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is what this AUTOMATED DASHBOARD can do:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Who doesn't love analyzing graphs?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who doesn't want to know their top selling products by month?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who doesn't want to know which titles were most successful?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's not pictured but a fancy pivot table will show you so much more!<br />
<br />
Actually, the pivot table is my FAVORITE part!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a video explaining how it works as well:<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are so many ways to use this data that will take your store to the next level.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How can it not?</div>

Any time you are making data-driven sound decisions, success will follow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are just a few ideas to get you started:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1. What were your most popular products sold last year? </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Make some related products and then bundle them all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>2, What are your best selling months? </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This may be a time to ramp up paid ads, social media posts or list new products.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>3. What are your worst selling months? </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are there holidays or other key events during those months? Create some products related to them to drive traffic in off months.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>4. Is a holiday or event coming up? </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For example, use the pivot table to analyze Halloween or Christmas resources. Which titles worked best? What sold the most? Create more products related to your best sellers for that holiday or season.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>5. Analyze the pivot table to determine during which month a specific product sells the most. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Use social media, paid ads and email marketing to promote that product even more during its hot month.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Summer is finally here!<br />
<br />
And so are so many gorgeous plants!<br />
<br />
I love walking around my yard and the neighborhood looking at all the lovely flowers and bushes.<br />
<br />
I especially loved this spring when I was able to move all the leaves and debris from an especially hard winter...<br />
<br />
....only to find lots of little sprouts just waiting for some sunshine!<br />
<br />
It really is therapeutic.<br />
<br />
Nature is amazing!<br />
<br />
Maybe that's why so many wonderful teachers like you love my printable plant resources!<br />
<br />
Here is what these teachers had to say:<br />
<br />
On April 22, 2019, Bridgette H. said:<br />
"I loved this resource! Very easy to use and extremely detailed and interesting!"<br />
<br />
On December 12, 2018, Deborah H. said:<br />

It is considered the most significant piece of civil rights legislation since Reconstruction, the era immediately following the Civil War.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It was passed on July 2 and prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin in voting, public accommodations, public facilities, public education, federally funded programs, and employment.<br />
<br />
Here are 10 civil rights activities for kids in elementary or middle school. You may use them in a social studies unit for Black History Month, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, for African American studies or for other classroom lesson plans.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What is the difference between STEM and STEAM?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
STEM provides experiential learning though science technology, engineering and math.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
STEAM allows the integration of the arts...wonder, critique, inquiry and innovation!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
STEAM is an educational initiative created by the Rhode Island School of Design that adds the arts to the original STEM framework. According to the Rhode Island School of Design, “The goal is to foster the true innovation that comes with combining the mind of a scientist or technologist with that of an artist or designer.” The addition of the arts to the original STEM framework is important as practices, such as modeling, developing explanations, and engaging in critique, and evaluation (argumentation), have too often been under-emphasized in the context of math & science education.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Why is STEAM so important?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our students' futures will require them to be able to think critically. The ability to be able to solve problems is essential. STEAM creates this framework to teach these necessary skills to students. Students are taught beyond the subject matter. They are taught HOW to learn, HOW to ask questions, HOW to experiment and HOW to create. This fosters life long learners.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The United States has developed as a global leader, in large part, through the genius and hard work of its scientists, engineers, and innovators. In a world that’s becoming increasingly complex, where success is driven not only by what you know, but by what you can do with what you know, it’s more important than ever for our youth to be equipped with the knowledge and skills to solve tough problems, gather and evaluate evidence, and make sense of information. These are the types of skills that students learn by studying science, technology, engineering, and math—subjects collectively known as STEM. - <a href="https://www.ed.gov/Stem" target="_blank">US Department of Education</a></div>
