test blog post

          The new school year has started, and the book you need for your next unit was supposed to arrive yesterday, but didn't. Or, you need something wonderful to leave with a sub, and you need it NOW!

         Take a deep breath. We've all been there. The great Super Secondary group is here to help with a Labor Day Lifesaver Lessons blog hop!
        You need a lifesaver lesson; low prep,easy to use, print and go lesson that will be meaningful to your students. No busywork here. When I need such a resource, I turn to this.
        This is so easy and fun to put together that your kids will "flip" for it! Best yet, all you have to do is make the copies!
        The Don't Flip! Study Tip Flip book includes lifelong strategies on how to study. Organization, memorization, note-taking, and more are covered. Once students have put the book together, they'll read through the booklet and answer accountability questions about each strategy.

        Here's what it looks like:
