I get this, I really do. CAFE and all that. But I have fifth graders with reading levels ranging from 1st-8th grade. My reading groups are...
You must have a LONG summer to make up for such short midyear breaks. In addition to Veterans Day and all week for thanksgiving, we’re off...
Same as you, not surprisingly. :) We also have a teacher work day this Thursday. Next week is all minimum days for parent conferences. I’m SO...
After lunch is by far the toughest part of the day for me. On Thursdays, we get out an hour and 15 min early for collaboration. Since 5th/6th...
To be honest, I'm not sure about the masters counting or not. I don't have a masters in another field, so it's never come up. I would search...
Personally, I think you'd be fine with Cal State TEACH. In my experience, schools and districts don't care much about where you got your...
Where in CA? Northern CA seems to post earlier than southern. Last year, there were jobs posted in northern CA in around February. I applied to my...
I'm not going to engage in this discussion at this point, because it's not the original intent of the thread and it's pretty clear that we are not...
In the context I was referring to, free means free to the parents. I did work at a charter with free childcare because it was a school with almost...
My charter was doing it. They weren't doing it intentionally, but that's how it ended up. The very involved parents were the ones applying to us....
Well I could drive myself crazy contemplating the reasons, but whatever they are, it's still something I have to deal with this year. I'll get...
I've never worked at a big corporation charter, either. My first charter was also extremely high in IEPs because we didn't have a special day...
What have you found that is working? I have 2 kids out of a class of 32 fifth graders who are working comfortably at grade level in math, and...
I've seen this channel before, but had forgotten! Thank you! Lots of great ideas! Thank you! I was looking at Flocabulary the other day. I...
Anyone know of any good chants and songs for teaching upper elementary concepts? I'm looking for all subjects, and especially math. I've found a...
Interesting article that hits home for me. I taught in a school all the parents wanted. It skimmed off the top. Not illegally - everything was...
In northern CA, postings seem to get earlier every year as districts get more desperate to hire lots of teachers. This year there were postings in...
We can control it within boundaries set for us. 72 is as low as it goes, and that is WAY too hot for me with 32 fifth grade bodies in there. The...
First off, the older ones have probably been well trained, too - they just push boundaries more. Please don't assume that their behavior in your...
