Monthly Teacher's Guide

We've made it to June at last! You and your students have worked so hard this year. While we do not publish in July and August, we still spend these months planning and prepping for future issues and projects.

May is an exciting time of the year. In this month's issue, we will talk about the positives and negatives of computer generated images, saving for retirement, and some grammar and speech fun. The first week of May is also ScreenFree Week. This is a great time to get outside and enjoy springtime activities.

Every April we try to focus our topics on the Earth or the environment. There is a real push for governments and corporations to change laws and practices to be more environmentally friendly. Earthday.org chooses the theme for Earth Day every year and this year they chose "Invest in our Planet."

In the March issue, we talk about the Chinese surveillance balloon, ways to borrow money, filing income taxes, and some famous women. We hope this information drives a wealth of learning experiences and conversation practice.

We hope that you and your students aren't having trouble finding motivation in class! Mental health issues can be a sensitive subject, especially for the classroom. But we feel it is important to acknowledge that they exist and help students talk about it in a safe space.

Happy New Year! It is the time for new beginnings, cheerful intentions, and awesome goals. This is a great time to have students think about things they want to accomplish this year.

I can't believe that we are approaching the end of 2022 already. This can be a great time to encourage conversation with your students and have them talk about their experiences with the holiday season in the U.S. so far.

You'll see more about hurricanes in this issue. Our hearts go out to all of the people affected by these storms. We also continue our Money in the U.S. series in this issue. We hope that this article helps your students navigate the banking system more easily.

Happy fall! As we head into October, the weather in Virginia Beach is getting cooler and leaves are just starting to get a little color on the tips. How is the weather where you are?

Welcome back to an exciting year of teaching and learning. We at Easy English NEWS want to make it easy for teachers to shine as well as for students to grow in learning and language. Please take advantage of the free materials we create for you each month to go along with each issue of the newspaper.

This month's issue is focused on articles and projects that could fit into summer practice. This could either be in class together, or as summer reading at home for students to prevent the summer learning loss that we address in our main article.

Is this your last issue for the year? If so, have a great summer! If your students are looking for summer reading, the June issue would be a great start. It will have lots of great stories, the June holidays, and even the 4th of July.
