Buy Nothing Groups - Classroom Supplies

Almost 2 years ago, I learned about Buy Nothing Groups. The buy nothing group is just like it sounds, you buy nothing. Theses groups are all over facebook and are based in your area, so it's neighbors helping neighbors. At the end of last year as I packed up my classroom to move, I had supplies that I couldn't move with me so I posted them on the group and was able to help other teachers. These groups focus on helping fill neighbors needs and sharing out of your abundance.

This year, people have posted needs for supplies, clothing for students, and more and they are met by neighbors. During the pandemic, people posted extra food they had to share and ways they could help someone. I know that teachers spend a lot of money on supplies for students so I'd highly recommend seeing if you have a group in your area to join. It's also great if you have extra supplies from a classroom project, you can give to another teacher or family who could use them instead of throwing them away.

Long Division in Google Docs

I was making a long division worksheet for my students in Google Docs when I realized that it wasn't under equations. Here's how to insert it. This does not look very pretty so I have another video on how I do it in Google Sheets which takes longer but looks nicer.

Blooket Game

A week ago my students kept asking to play Blooket so I looked into it. Blooket is much like Kahoot and Gimkit but they earn money. Blooket has several different game modes and the students LOVE IT. Once a student has been eliminated they will keep playing to earn more gold which they can use to buy rare items. Each week Blooket has a theme and those rare items can be bought for the week and then they are gone; the items include accessories or special characters they can play as. My students will play for hours if we let them. When we finish a game they are ready for another round. Blooket has a FREE version which has been enough for my class but you can also upgrade to a paid version. They have games that are already made or you can create a new game. My students love the battle royale mode and the gold quest the best. If you haven't given it a try I would highly suggest it.
