I LOVE everything Teaching on Lemon Lane makes, and I especially love that she offers so many amazing resources for new teachers. Her resources have saved my life in terms of the stress of planning my first week ever in the classroom. If I could buy every resource she makes, I would. Thank you Tara for being such an amazing mentor!

I was floundering for ideas of how to build classroom culture during my first week of school. The Teaching on Lemon Lane activities were by far some of my FAVORITE first-week activities I’ve ever done and will remain a staple in my class. Each activity was carefully crafted and explained well from a teacher’s point of view and a student’s point of view.

Teaching on Lemon Lane is my favorite teacher-author. Every activity is creative and extremely engaging. As an educator, I especially value the versatility and that I’m given the ability to edit where I see fit.

I LOVE Lemon Lane products. There is so much guidance and so many tips included in the resources. Her activities are PERFECT for my 5th/6th grade classes. I am a first year teacher and was panicking about what to do with my kids the first few days. I feel confident and excited now.

Once again Teaching on Lemon Lane exceeded my expectations. Students were invested and engaged and that was reflected in their writing. Teaching on Lemon Lane resources continue to become my classroom staples. Not one activity has fallen flat.

All of your items are made so well made- I love them all! This bundle saved me hours and hours of time!!! It was so nice to have ready-made digital items to use for literature circles in an online setting. They are easy for the kids to use/follow and was worth every penny. Thank you!

I’ve spent more $$$ on TPT than I care to admit… this is probably one of my favorite purchases to date, and that’s saying something. New back to school staples. Thank you!

I used this as a supplement to my nonfiction unit for my 7th graders. The organizers helped to clarify students' thinking. Very visually appealing and a useful tool.

My students really enjoyed this activity! After everyone finished, we printed them and did a "Turkey Trot" around the room as they looked at everyone's feathers.

My students loved creating their disguises!! Then, they wrote a persuasive letter from the point of view of the turkey or themself using the different prompts offered in this resource! It was the PERFECT activity to fill a few days of writing before the Thanksgiving break! Thank you for such a great product!

I have been using a lot of challenging activities this year to really push my students out of their comfort zone and to make them think.  This was a perfect addition to my list.  They loved it but hated it!

Teach Place Value... but make it FUN!

At the beginning of each year, I always start with place value.

So it’s crucial that the foundation is strong, and that any gaps or misunderstandings are identified and corrected quickly. In order for students to have good number sense, they must have a concrete understanding of place value that goes beyond the surface.

From Groans to Grins: Embracing the Joys of Teaching Nonfiction in the Classroom

Start any conversation about teaching nonfiction or informational texts and you can almost guarantee groans will follow. Often the groans will be coming from both the teacher and the students….

I’m willing to bet, that if we were to do a word association activity where I say a word and you say the first word that pops in your head, (example: I say Peanut Butter, you say Jelly…etc.) That if the word were: NONFICTION Your response would likely be…
