While World War II may have ended long ago, it left a resounding impact on the world. The war from 1939 to 1945 involved most countries, civilian and military resources, and world capabilities. Sadly, this also resulted in millions of fatalities. Due to how impactful this time was, students must learn about it. Thankfully, there are amazing World War II lessons to ensure students understand key aspects of the war, including the causes and turning points.

Ah, the New Year! That magical time when we convince ourselves that this year, yes, THIS year, we’ll actually stick to our resolutions. And we don’t. And we beat ourselves up. The New Year is cruel. Let’s ditch those resolutions, teachers, and do this 1 thing instead. Hear me out. Year after year, I have the best intentions. I vow not to let papers pile up, to finally be that organized person I make fun of but secretly admire.
