This is super high maintenance, but you could pull those who rush and don't get answers correct into a small group for very boring remedial...
Huge hugs! My life philosophy at the moment is life is too short to not be a bit selfish with my time. I have always been someone to sink tons of...
mathmagic-you're correct! Mary Poppins (Jolly Holiday scene). ;)
This will be Henry's first year trick-or-treating! He was too young to understand in the past. Last weekend we had our PTA Halloween party, so we...
This is a fun thread to read! Right now I teach GATE classes for 4th and 5th grade after school. I make just under 1k, twice a year, before...
I would give her the top scores. If I think about a student, I'm grading them on how well they've mastered math as a fifth grader. Sure, there's...
Huh. It's weird, because our district is super low key. We don't turn in lesson plans, no one ever checks our grades, we don't have testing...
I have a Lenovo ThinkPad and I love it. I bought it off my last company when I left and it's a workhorse-I'm going on my fourth year of using it...
Just curious-how is your school with following directives? Our district is going to 'standard based' report cards. We had a report card...
People feed on drama. I'm sorry their feasting at your table, KC. I find nothing wrong with this at all. When I first heard about it, it was on...
I don't pay the bills, so I'm not entirely sure what they are. I know our rent is $2500 and our daycare is $1300 a month. My student loans are...
I come in right before school starts, but I stay at least 1.5 hours after school to get everything done. Sometimes it annoys me when I need to...
I'm not big into movies-while I love the mental break it gives me, I always feel super guilty. I do show Bill Nye videos and Nova's Hunting the...
Hugs! We have fall break next week and got two new students this week, so that's added to everything. I'm showing a video that relates to our...
I have all our grade level IEP kiddos this year, and I have no modified a single test. I bust my butt with intervention groups, extra math time,...
We did Disney last year-I was Tink and the other two teachers were Maid Marian (Robin Hood) and Minnie. We're doing it again this year because my...
I realized last year, after giving all my files away previously, that I need to build up my stock of content resources. I bought a lot of file...
Thanks for letting me get it all out this morning, guys! Haha-sometimes you just need to shake your head and write about it on A-Z. ;) Yes, our...
This year has been non-stop crazy since day 1, hence the lack in posting. I volunteered for a pilot program where I took all the spec ed and...
Hugs, Beth! I know what you mean about the technology. When I got my classroom last year, it had a smartboard but I received zero training. I...
