Ancient Civilizations

There’s something about pen and paper that just hi There’s something about pen and paper that just hits different.

Maybe it’s the tactile feel. Maybe it’s watching your students actually write instead of just scrolling. Maybe it’s the fact that a worksheet forces them to slow down and think. Whatever it is, there’s a quiet power in going analog.

And here’s what I love about This Day in History—you don’t have to choose.

Want to print it out and have students highlight, circle, and annotate on actual paper? Done. Want to project it on the screen and have them follow along digitally? Also done. Need a hybrid approach where some kids are annotating print copies while others are engaging on their devices? This resource does that too.

That’s the beauty of versatility.

Your students get to experience history the way that actually works for THEM:
✍️ Print and handwrite their responses
💻 Go fully digital with ease
🎯 Mix and match based on what your class needs that day

Plus, there’s an Amazon workbook version if you want students to have their own physical copy to keep and reference.

One resource. Infinite ways to use it. Zero stress figuring out how to make it work.

Your students are mentally checked out. You’re men Your students are mentally checked out. You’re mentally checked out. But here’s the thing—history doesn’t have to feel like a chore. It can be the easiest 10 minutes of your day, and your kids actually stay engaged through it.

Every single day includes:
🗓️ A historical moment that matters
📚 Just enough context to make it interesting (not overwhelming)
💭 A reading passage students can actually process
✏️ A quick writing activity that gets them thinking

Print it. Project it. Done. Your morning just got easier, and your students just got hooked on history.

Comes in digital AND print. Workbook version on Amazon if you want that too.

Because at the end of the year, when you’re exhausted and your energy is depleted, you deserve a resource that does the heavy lifting for you.

Teachers have been saying it for years. The deregu Teachers have been saying it for years. The deregulated students, the shrinking attention spans, the kids who can’t hold a pencil because they’ve been on a trackpad since kindergarten. 

We’ve watched it happen in real time — and we’ve been largely powerless to do anything about it.

That’s starting to change. 👀

LAUSD just made a major move to restrict classroom screen time, and school districts across the country are finally paying attention. This isn’t about taking technology away. It’s about using it with intention — and that distinction matters everything.

Because yes, we want students coding, creating, and building digital skills. What we don’t want is six hours of passive screen time with zero engagement and zero purpose.

As a teacher AND an assistant principal, I’ve seen both sides of this. And I’m genuinely excited about where this is heading. When we come out on the other side, we’re going to have students who actually understand how to use technology as a tool — not a crutch. 🙌

If you’re a history teacher trying to find that balance between print and digital in your classroom right now, the History Makers Club was built exactly for this moment. Print AND digital resources, all in one place.

It’s late April. You’re running on fumes. Your stu It’s late April. You’re running on fumes. Your students have completely checked out. The energy is GONE. You’re looking for something—anything—that will snap them back into focus for those final weeks without requiring you to build it from scratch because, honestly, you’re too tired.

My This Day in History resource is literally going to be your new best friend.

Here’s what’s inside:
💫 Daily slideshow with a brief detail of each historical day
📖 Reading passage paired with each day
✍️ Short response and writing activity
🎯 Engagement hook the second students walk in the door—no teacher energy required
The beauty? You hit play, they engage, everyone wins.

And because I know end-of-year looks different for everyone, this comes in both print AND digital formats. Plus, if you want a physical workbook option for next year or to have on hand, there’s an Amazon version too.

You’ve survived parent emails, tech failures, the You’ve survived parent emails, tech failures, the kid who asks “are we doing anything today” five minutes before the bell, and approximately 4,000 things that were not in your job description.

You deserve a ribbon for every single one. 🎀

Swipe through and tell me which award is yours this week — because let’s be honest, most of us are collecting the whole set. 😭

I see you, teachers. The ones running on coffee and countdown apps. The ones who turned a fire drill into a teachable moment. The ones who showed up completely drained and still made it work.

This time of year is no joke. And if you’re feeling it right now — the exhaustion, the “I just need to make it to June” energy — you’re not alone.

That’s exactly why I put together my End of Year Survival Kit. Everything you need to actually make it to the finish line without losing your mind. 

Be sure to send and tag a teacher bestie that is also award winning!
