Edublogs is apparently embedding ad-links into posts of their users. If you’ve been wondering why random words like backpack, bathroom, and cough contain links to various places, there’s your answer. If edublogs wants to link our readers to ads on sidebars, that’s fine with us. But within our content? We don’t know about that. The [...]

Heater on. Door shut. Backpacks on the floor. Scarves on necks. Binder, paper, pencils on desk. It’s cold out there.
Students cough death left and right. Left and right. Noses blown. Tissue containers (provided by my own budget) vanish daily.
But learning… must. go. on.
Aaaand, I think I should either eat more oranges or buy myself a [...]

To teach is like to reach
for an apple that runs away but looks so sweet
so we keep on reaching…
I’ve aged three for every night, my kids wallow in grammar worksheets and Science outlines
history texts and 8am wrecks
math problems and home problems
vocab activities and 2:20 revelries (unless you got detention, then it’s 3:20 ya dig?)

I, Ms. R, am guilty of not blogging in a really long time. Thank you for the push, Mr. G! The biggest reason I haven’t written anything is because student-teaching and classes have been kicking my butt… with a steel toe boot. We’re all busy though, especially this time of year. (I’d just [...]

…and so are my kids’ subtle insults.
Speaking of Halloween…I think I may have found my costume for this year.
Student 1: No offense Miss S., but you really remind me of Velma from the Scooby Doo movie. You know, the really nerdy one who always wears an orange sweater?
Me: …Thanks…
Student 2: Shut up! Don’t say that [...]

i was almost guilty of being like the teacher Mr.G blogged about in his last post, but i stopped myself.
a majority of my students were bombing their math diagnostics on fundamentals (adding, subtraction, multiplication, division) the first two weeks of class, despite being promoted from algebra into geometry. i looked at their old grades and [...]

That’s what it feels like -but not in a bad way. I started student teaching this week and so far, it has been GREAT. (I can practically see your eyes rolling right now!) “She’s totally in the honeymoon phase,” right? But I don’t think that’s the case. I’m definitely not saying “clear sailing all the [...]

As I walked out of my classroom, my car looked lonely. The vast empty parking lot was its backdrop. I shut the door with my throat parched, water bottle empty, eyes heavy, thoughts filled.
