📚 Easy-to-Use Stories and Videos for Your Class!
Lesson Plan #13
Happy Monday, Educators!
It’s getting colder out there and for many of us, the first snowflakes of the season are beginning to fall. ❄️ Whether it's a light dusting or a blanket of the white stuff, it’s a reminder that winter is just around the corner.
As our American friends ease back into the classroom after the long weekend, we hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. 🦃 Whether you celebrated in October (as we do here in Canada) or just last week, this season is all about gratitude—and today, we want to express ours for the incredible work you do for your students every day. To help you start the week with calm and focus, we’ve got the perfect Video of the Week to bring a little Monday morning zen to you and your classroom. Enjoy! 👇🏽

📖 STORIES OF THE WEEK
ENVIRONMENT: A Flying First (Grades 1 to 5)
The world’s first ‘flying’ electric ferry is about to land on the shores of Lake Tahoe! This amazing zero-emission boat glides over the water like a magic carpet. It’s not only fast, but it’s also green which will help keep Lake Tahoe its famous blue. What does a flying boat look like in action? Check it out below!
MENTAL HEALTH: Should Teens Be Banned From Social Media? (Grades 9 to 12)
If you're like most teens, social media is a huge part of your day—whether it's checking TikTok, posting on Instagram, or talking to your friends on Snapchat. But in Australia, a new law just banned kids under 16 from using any social media at all. This move is sparking big debates worldwide about mental health, tech, and the role social media should play in our lives.
MENTAL HEALTH: Feeling Stressed? Just Add Laughter (Grades 6-8)
Having a knack for humor is the secret ingredient to a happy life, like finding an extra fry at the bottom of your takeout bag. 😆 Each chuckle is basically a mini workout for your soul, and scientists say it’s also the ultimate stress-buster. No joke!
