One school - will be there 8 years this coming school year.
LOL!
They are talking about going 1:1 in our 8th grade classes - possibly as early as next year. If they pop this on us, I'm nervous that I won't know...
I had a psych degree and years of other business experience before I decided to teach. Then I went into a post graduate licensure program. I had...
Ok, so I'm lost. What is a TPA and a BTSA?
I did that for each of the schools I was interested in. Ended up being interviewed at three and offered jobs at all three! I had accepted the...
I use them with my eighth graders, but they don't usually last well. They like to break them and put them back in the box or leave them on the...
How did you state your policy and how hard was it to enforce? Did you make students sit doing nothing because they didn't have pencils? As for...
Congratulations! 8th graders love this kind of activity! As I said on another thread, 8th graders think they are all that but they still love...
I have a mini-lesson on how to use the dictionary to help you spell a word correctly. I make them use the dictionary for spelling and for...
Absolutely go for it! I have 8th grade students and love it most of the time. End of the year gets a little hairy, but the amount of growth...
I googled for ideas once and came up with a great pack of ideas. I'll pm you with them. I can't seem to come up with the right search at the...
I've done long term subs in sixth grade. Too childish for me. When I was offered a perm position in 7th or 8th grade, I chose 8th and haven't...
I agree with Furthuron as far as your duties as a proctor. Everything here in VA is scripted. It is a slow day, esp. with math and the essay...
I used to tell my 8th graders to use the dictionary and then realized no one had taught them (or they forgot) how to use the dictionary to help...
No consequence. If they fail 2 or more core classes for the year, they are "placed" in ninth grade. No summer school - barely have $$ for...
I have never been a shoe maven. I've had arthritis in my feet since my 20's, so have not worn heels since then. Crocs clogs were great until I...
Good Grief! I had a parallel dream to yours just this past August! I was very nervous about starting this year; our last group of children had a...
Trulyunic, I would not offer to stay after school to help a student unless they have a note from a parent/guardian who will pick them up at a...
My school asks for a syllabus, but never dictated a way they wanted it. I take a copy of the state standards and next to each strand, I add the...
