we get five sick days and five personal days every year and anything you don't use rolls over. I've been teaching for four years and I currently...
Lol. Right?! If you're the one, that's the worst neighborhood EVER!
More or less, but in my previous apartment we had a few break ins around Christmas, but the neighborhood was still more or less a safe...
I have a digital dropbox with two teachers that I PLC with (one from each level) and I drop ideas into their folders when I create or find...
Oh, I was going to add that the three times (in college where you're assigned an apartment style dorm) I did live on the bottom floor Apt 1 was...
I've almost always lived on the top floor (2nd or 3rd floor). I used Umovefree.com and they paid for the movers in exchange for a finder's fee...
Hey Golden Poppy, thanks for the link! I found tons of good ideas on there! If the free ones work out maybe I'll pay for some of the others!...
I'm sorry to hear that you're having a hard time. I remember that we started teaching at the same time. I really struggled with burn out after my...
I'm in my fourth year of teaching and I definitely spent a lot of time planning and a few hours grading over the break. The first week of break, I...

We're getting ready to do that now. When I leave, we'll be working on housing and furniture. Maybe I can have them use butcher paper to design...
I was one of three teachers selected by the administration from a staff of 200 to attend a three day conference. I'm honestly very honored and...
Agreed. Tenth graders aren't as tough to deal with as the freshmen but they haven't learned to game the system like the juniors and seniors....
Yeah. I kind of have to agree with Alice. There's a difference between apathetic and unskilled. Organization and meeting deadlines is a skill you...
Pretty much. Spanish is so repetitive particularly when they're learning a new grammar point that I may check the first, middle and last thing...
I've never worked in or attended a district that had D as a grade. I'd never heard of it until I went to college and even in college, it wasn't...
I completely agree with you. I did what you suggested, printing off my six weeks at a glance lesson plan from my website (no clue why I didn't...
