Using Multiple Perspectives to See a Problem
This worksheet was created to pair with some SEL with an ELA activity. However, it can stand alone as a simple SEL reflective lesson, creative writing start or to teach about using speech in writing. Students are asked to choose a problem and take on the perspective of three people (or, if you'd like, animals/objects for personification fun). They then interview those three perspectives about the problem and fill in the table. I'd recommend they do so digitally, but you can easily print it and

Student Computer Passwords for Teacher Files
The beginning of the year is stressful. 30 kids signing into computers, forgetting their username and passwords over and over again! I made this to keep a record of the information for my core 1 students (middle school style). They are asked to bookmark important websites after writing their username, password and lunch number. I recommend copying this file and adding screenshots of the specific learning programs you want them to bookmark. I collected the papers and kept them secure. Ideally I

Additional biographical information
The name "Stuff and Things," is a tribute to my first 5th grade class. We discussed the need to be more descriptive and avoid saying 'stuff and things' in our writing and speaking and then it became our inside joke. So, since my creations do not fit nicely into one box, they are stuff and things.
I currently teach K-8 STEM, allowing me a great big swath of creative freedom. I've taught middle school science, 5th grade and 2nd grade. I started on TPT when we all only gave each other free resources and I loved the genuine sharing for our students benefits. Message me if price is an issue (it does add up!) and your school will not reimburse.
TPT is the largest marketplace for PreK-12 resources, powered by a community of educators.
