LAUSD Strike
Opportunity Playbook

As a teacher, this one hits close to home. If LAUSD teachers go on strike next week, it's because they've been pushed to a breaking point — fighting for smaller class sizes, fair pay, and the resources their students deserve. I stand with them. Full stop. I also know a lot of LA parents are about to have some unexpected days at home with their kids. And I know that can feel overwhelming. So here's what I can do: I've made our most popular classroom activities available for parents to use at home. These are the same teacher-designed, curriculum-aligned printables that keep kids engaged and learning in real classrooms. Because supporting teachers and supporting your kids aren't two different things. Link in bio to browse the store. Most resources are under $5. #IStandWithLAUSDTeachers #LAUSDStrike #TeacherStrike #KeepTheLearningGoing #ParentResources #EducationalActivities #Teachertainment #LosAngeles #LAUSD

Hey LA parents — finding yourself with some unexpected home days? Before you reach for the iPad (no judgment, we've all been there), here are a few ideas to keep your kids learning AND having fun: 1. Print-and-play math activities that feel like games, not worksheets 2. Movie-themed reading guides that turn any film into a learning moment 3. Creative writing prompts that actually get kids excited to write All of these are in our store — designed by an actual classroom teacher (hi, that's me) for grades K-8. Most are under $2. Some are 99 cents. Because keeping your kids' brains active shouldn't cost a fortune, especially right now.

Day [X] of the LAUSD strike. A few things that are true at the same time: Teachers deserve better. That's why they're striking. Parents are doing their best. That's why they need support. Kids still need to learn. That's why these resources exist. I built Teachertainment because I believe learning should be fun — in the classroom AND at home. Our printable activities are designed to keep kids engaged without a lesson plan, a teaching degree, or an hour of prep. Just print, hand it over, and watch your kid actually enjoy learning.

Preview text: A teacher-to-teacher (and teacher-to-parent) note about the LAUSD strike. Hey there, If you teach in LAUSD, I want you to know something: I support you. I've been in the classroom. I know what it's like to stretch yourself thin with too many students, not enough resources, and not enough pay. If you're on the picket line this week, you're not just fighting for yourself — you're fighting for every student who deserves better. Now, here's the other side of this that I've been thinking about. There are a lot of parents in LA right now who suddenly have their kids at home, trying to figure out how to keep them engaged, learning, and out of "stare at the ceiling" mode. That's where Teachertainment can help. I've opened up all of our classroom resources for parent use. These are the same activities, printables, and guides that work in classrooms — and they work just as well on the kitchen table. Here's what parents can grab: - Math activities that feel like games (grades K-5) - Movie-themed reading and writing guides - Creative thinking worksheets - Fast finisher activities that buy you 20 minutes of quiet Most items are under $2. A few are just 99 cents. If you know any LAUSD parents who could use this, please share the store link with them: https://www.teachertainment.com/store You fight for the classroom. We'll help keep the learning going at home. With respect and solidarity, Jake

Title: LAUSD Strike: A Teacher's Guide to Keeping Kids Learning at Home Meta Description: LA teacher shares practical, fun activities to keep kids engaged at home during the LAUSD strike. Teacher-created printables for grades K-8. Slug: /blog/lausd-strike-learning-activities-at-home --- Let me be upfront: I'm a teacher. And I stand with LAUSD teachers. What they're fighting for — fair pay, manageable class sizes, more support staff — isn't just about them. It's about every kid who walks into an overcrowded classroom and every teacher who spends their own money on supplies. This strike matters. But I'm also realistic. If you're a parent in LA reading this, you're probably not looking for a political take. You're looking for something to do with your kids tomorrow. So here's what I can offer: practical, teacher-designed activities you can do at home with zero prep and zero teaching experience required. First, Take a Breath Your kids will be fine. A few days (or even weeks) out of the classroom won't derail their education. What matters is keeping their brains active and their days structured enough that they don't melt into the couch by noon. You don't need to recreate school. You just need to keep the wheels turning. For the Little Ones (Grades K-2) Young kids need movement, color, and play-based learning. Here's what works: - Print-and-go math games that use dice, cards, or objects from around the house - Picture-based reading response sheets (read a book together, talk about it, fill in the sheet) - Simple writing prompts like "Draw your favorite part of today and write one sentence about it" - Coloring activities with built-in math problems or sight words In our store, we have classroom-tested packets for this exact age group — designed so a parent can hand them over and step back. They range from $0.99 to $4.99 and cover math, ELA, and creative thinking. For the Middle Crew (Grades 3-5) This is the sweet spot where kids can work more independently but still need something engaging enough to hold their attention. Try this at home: - Watch a movie together and use a structured discussion guide to turn it into a learning activity (we have several movie-themed classroom guides in the store that are perfect for this) - Print out creative writing prompts — the weirder the better. "What would happen if your dog became the principal?" gets way more effort than "Write about your weekend." - Math challenges that feel like puzzles, not problems Our movie-themed guides are some of our best sellers for a reason — kids think they're getting screen time, but they're actually doing critical thinking and reading comprehension. For the Big Kids (Grades 6-8) Older kids need autonomy and challenge. Hand them something and get out of the way. - Media literacy activities (analyze a commercial, break down a news article, compare two movie trailers) - Differentiated math packets they can work through at their own pace - Award show-themed activities that tap into pop culture while building academic skills - Creative writing projects with real depth — short story starters, opinion editorials, persuasive letters Our differentiated packets for this age group are designed to meet kids where they are, so you don't need to figure out what "level" your kid is at. They self-select. The Screen Time Compromise Look, your kids are going to watch screens. That's fine. But you can make it count. Pick a movie. Print out one of our movie classroom guides. Watch together. Then have your kid fill out the guide — it covers vocabulary, character analysis, theme identification, and creative response. Congratulations: movie time just became a legitimate learning experience. And it took you zero prep. A Note on What Matters Teachers don't strike because they want to. They strike because they have to. The educators in your children's classrooms deserve better, and what they're asking for will directly benefit your kids when they return. In the meantime, keep the learning going. Keep the routine as close to normal as you can. And know that this community of teachers has your back — even from the picket line. Browse all of our teacher-created, classroom-tested printable activities at teachertainment.com/store. Most resources are under $5, and every single one was built to make learning feel less like work. We'll get through this together. — Jake Teachertainment
