Welcome to "Wake Up Sunshine", where learning meets creativity! As an educator with 30 years of experience, I'm passionate about providing engaging and effective resources that inspire a love for learning in students of all ages. At "Wake Up Sunshine", you'll discover a treasure trove of meticulously crafted materials designed to cater to diverse learning styles and classroom needs. From interactive worksheets and hands-on activities to captivating lesson plans and educational games, each resource is thoughtfully created to foster critical thinking, encourage active participation, and promote a deeper understanding of subjects. That being said, many of my products go off the well-worn path of what one may expect from a typical unit or lesson of study. I create some "out there" ideas; but it's these type of ideas that grasp my student's attention and invigorate their motivation and passion for learning. Therefore, one must be ready for some "out there" ideas with many of my products. Cliff notes of above paragraph: While I have some standard "see page," "do page" lessons, more often than not (especially the last 5 years or so), I have been creating some really high-level material. I really don't have an interest in creating Pintrest ready materials. I have an interest in challenging students to go well above the norm in terms of the higher levels of brain functioning: analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Put it this way, a rock concert with the coolest stage show (if the music stinks) equates to a crappy show. Thereby, for me the stage show (pretty aesthetics) are secondary. IT'S THE CONTENT (music in terms of this correlation). THIS IS MOST (not all) OF MY STORE. The skills many of my products focus on include: -Critical thinking/problem solving -Collaboration -Agility/adaptability -Initiative/entrepreneurship -Effective communication -Accessing/analyzing information -Curiosity and imagination With a commitment to quality and practicality, every resource offered here is tried, tested, and proven effective in enhancing student engagement and academic growth. Moreover, I regularly update and expand my collection to ensure you have access to the latest educational trends and best practices. In my mind, I'm far more inspired to meet these skills within my creations over an endless array of educational strands. Why? Because for my students to have a fighting chance in the world which awaits them, these are what they'll need.
