I teach kindergarten. We are 1 to 1 with Chromebooks preK-12 thanks to the pandemic. Students use them to access programs related to our...
I teach K. None of my students have mentioned it and I haven't asked. My 6-year-old (he attends a different district) comes home talking about...
I've been a member of both places an equal amount of time. Haven't been active here much recently because the boards have been slow, but if more...
20 years ago I adored the Letter People, as did my students. But I was constantly bringing them home to submerge them in my bathtub to locate the...
What are parents going to do is the question of the year and probably the main reason there is so much pressure on schools to reopen. Having kids...
And this is another reason why I am not fan of synchronous distance learning. Not everyone can access it due to parent obligations. As for my...
Ugh. My heart goes out to you with this dilemma. I struggled with infertility and loss for 15 years. I have 9 babies in heaven (a full-term...
It is totally unfair for parents to expect virtual students to get the same experience. And it's unfair to teachers to have to teach virtually...

Our district just adopted a new reading curriculum, new math curriculum, and a new LMS. No idea if we'll be teaching virtually or with a blended...
I had a strong, supportive grade-level team of experienced educators so I was very lucky in that regard. I don't remember crying. One of the...
I would consider sending an email. "Didn't want it to be a shock when you see me next week! I am preganant and due _____. I don't anticipate...
Mine are 26 but I teach K so it takes a while!
Right, but with our hard water I thought there'd be a lot more buildup after 16 years. The water dispenser area of our fridge gets disgusting, as...
I haven't run it yet but I was able to reassemble it without event. Except for when my 5-year-old lost the special screwdriver bit I bought last...
Two hard hit areas were prisons and nursing homes. Both of them have groups of people in a confined space. Let's set aside nursing homes because...
There are no accessible filters in this model and I saw some eye-opening YouTube videos. Seems simple enough and should improve my dishwashing...
