“I took your Greek and Latin Roots and used them with a grade 4, 5, 6 class. The activities totally captured all the students imaginations and they had so much fun sharing what they had come up with.” A teacher in British Columbia, Canada
“Idioms, idioms, idioms, and more idioms! I use the sets you created and my students love them.” An anonymous teacher
“One idea that stuck with me this past year was comparing characters from different books and describing a Halloween outfit a particular character would choose. It was so much more open ended and gave my fourth graders an opportunity to be creative.” A 4th grade teacher in Maryland

Hello! I'm Ian Byrd. I've been writing about education since 2009. I grew up as a gifted student, taught gifted students, spoke at dozens of conferences, and led professional development around the US. Now, I take work off of teachers' plates by developing video lessons that they can just use. Check it out at Byrdseed.TV.
