Here’s a FREE regulation tools menu. I’m finding these helpful for kids who don’t want to do hard work. Each time they want to (sometimes it’s between each question) they can pick a regulation tool from the menu before doing more work. If you use 2-sided printing you’ll have the breathing visuals on the back …
I’ve added new badges to my website. The first is to show that I don’t use AI in my work. I’ve tried it, but it takes significantly more time than it does for me to do the work without it. I’m also concerned about the impact of AI on our environment and our labor market. …

As I attempt to “up my barrier game game” I’ve added two of these SpongeBob SquarePants Magnetic Creations tins. I’m using these magnetic dry-erase boards for a lot of my barrier games and the tins fit perfectly against them so they didn’t fall over! I love using barriers that aren’t attached to each other so …
