"Realistically" is yet ANOTHER way for you to say, "My opinion is the only opinion an intelligent person could ever have." But it's not.
Let's just say, hypothetically speaking :D, that you wanted to use some Scholastic Bonus Points to buy some books for your own family (the bonus...
We don't have to turn in anything, thank goodness.
Guided reading does more to really improve reading, but it won't serve as a test-prep method in my opinion. It's unfortunate that you have to...
I would urge you to not teach. Teaching is a profession where you will often feel wronged or disrespected by someone. An inability to turn the...
I would let it go, but if you really felt bothered by it, you could say, "Just jot down an estimate at the end of the week if you would, please."...
The days can be slow at times, but the years are fast!
All of these rules are good ideas. I think the two keys are basically: 1. State what the kids SHOULD do as opposed to what they should NOT...

It might be piling on at this point, but I add my voice to the overwhelming chorus of "no" votes. Don't do it!

The cutesy printouts use too much ink/paper for me... I prefer a bit more efficiency in anything I print. But I can't fault anyone who make their...
Amen to that. And the thing is, you DO end up being all of them at times.
These are probably technically correct but sound awful. I think the "the" should be in there.
If you teach first grade, why use grades at all? Why not just talk about what the child can and can't do?
1. I can't imagine not have 24/7 access to my classroom when needed. What if you get sick and need to get in there to make sub plans at 5 AM one...
