Your syllabus has one job: make your classroom eas

Your syllabus has one job: make your classroom easier to understand.

It shouldn’t require students (or parents) to dig through a wall of text just to figure out how to make up missing work or where to turn in assignments.

A well-designed syllabus won’t magically solve classroom management, but it can eliminate a lot of unnecessary confusion and repetitive questions.

The goal isn’t to make your syllabus “Pinterest-worthy.” It’s to create something students and parents will actually use instead of stuffing into a backpack forever.

If you’re ready to give your syllabus a glow-up without starting from scratch, I’ve got editable middle school science syllabus templates ready to customize for your classroom.

Comment MSST and I’ll send you the link!

Respectfully... Some of y’all are out here spendi

Every job has its betrayal list, and teaching midd

Every job has its betrayal list, and teaching middle school science has... quite a few.

I promise I’m joking here! No students or admin were harmed in the making of this. The copy machine, however, is on very thin ice.

Teaching is hard enough. Sometimes you just have to laugh at the chaos.

Middle school science is one of the best jobs in the world, but it’s also completely unhinged some days. Sometimes the only reasonable response is to laugh when the fire alarm goes off 30 seconds into the lab you spent your entire planning period setting up.

What’s on YOUR betrayal list? Add one in the comments. I know there are at least 147 more.

Every year, we spend hours planning lessons, labs,

Every year, we spend hours planning lessons, labs, and assessments... then somehow accept the daily chaos of 150 nearly identical composition notebooks.

Cue the classics:
“I can’t find mine.”
“I think someone took it.”
“Is this yours?”
“Whose notebook is this?” (asked approximately 847 times before winter break.)

A simple notebook cover solves more than just the identity crisis.

✔️ Students can spot their notebook in seconds instead of digging through stacks.
✔️ Adding their name, class period, and a design gives them a little ownership over something they’ll use all year.
✔️ Grading goes faster because you’re not constantly checking inside covers to figure out who turned in what.
✔️ It helps establish an organized routine from Day 1 which is something your future self will be incredibly grateful for by October.

The covers are designed to print on half-sheet shipping labels, so you can peel, stick, and move on. No cutting. No glue. No extra prep.

And when I tell you these last ALL YEAR, I mean it. These notebooks can be thrown, tossed and be covered in hot cheeto dust and still remain intact.

I also include a ready-to-use table of contents page so your interactive notebooks start organized and stay that way.

Sometimes the best classroom management strategies aren’t complicated, they’re just small systems that save you hundreds of tiny headaches throughout the year.

Comment INBG and I’ll send you my FREE Interactive Notebook Guide, complete with editable notebook covers and a table of contents page to help you start the year organized.

🚨 CONFESSION TIME. 🚨 I’m guilty. I reuse warm-up

🚨 CONFESSION TIME. 🚨

I’m guilty.

I reuse warm-ups.
I teach procedures before content.
I make students clean up their own lab messes.
I recycle slides from last year.
I don’t spend six hours planning a room transformation that will take just as long to clean up.
My classroom isn’t Pinterest-worthy.
And yes… I leave when my contract time ends.

Lock me up. 🚔

Teacher culture has convinced us that if we’re not constantly creating, decorating, laminating, differentiating 14 different ways, and sacrificing our personal lives, we’re somehow not doing enough.

Meanwhile…

The teachers with the smoothest classrooms usually aren’t doing more.

They’re doing the same good things over and over again.

Because students thrive on routines.
Clear expectations beat classroom chaos.
And your mental health is not a classroom supply.

You don’t get bonus points for making your job harder.

Work smarter.
Reuse the resource.
Keep the routine.
Make the kids wipe the lab tables.

Straight to teacher jail, I guess. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Okay, so maybe an ugly agenda slide isn’t the prob

Okay, so maybe an ugly agenda slide isn’t the problem but...

A boring, cluttered, impossible-to-read agenda slide is.

Your agenda is the very first thing students see when they walk into your classroom. Before you’ve taken attendance. Before you’ve said good morning. Before you’ve redirected a single student. Before you even took a step towards your computer to take attendance.

It sets the tone.

A clear, visually engaging agenda answers questions before they’re asked:
🧪 What are we doing today?
🧪 What do I need to have out?
🧪 What comes next?
🧪 What is the warm up?

That means fewer interruptions, smoother transitions, and one less reason for a middle schooler to wander around the room asking, “So... what are we doing today?” while standing directly in front of the screen. 🙃

That’s exactly why I created these science-themed agenda slides. They’re designed specifically for middle school science classrooms, with editable daily layouts that make it easy to post objectives, warm-ups, homework, materials, reminders, and your daily schedule, all while adding a little personality to your classroom.

Because classroom management doesn’t always start with consequences.

Sometimes it starts with what students see the second they walk through your door.

Comment SLIDES and I’ll send you the link to these science themed agenda slides.
