Poverty and Bias
I wasn’t really sure what to title this post because it is a topic that can be hard to sum up in a few words. This is something I have wanted to write about for some time, however, and feel that this is probably an appropriate time considering how language is being used today. When I Continue reading

The Little Details
The idea for using the block lesson plan template seems to be working in the class. The students really appreciated the independence that it afforded them and all were engaged in the activities. I can still see some struggling students who are having a hard time comprehending based on lower level grammatical knowledge. They are Continue reading

Cherish The Funny Moments
Today was another great day on all counts. I can’t complain about a single thing today. Co-teaching is definitely going smoother now that my colleague and I are planning regularly and working together. Math went fairly smooth once the students were engaged in an activity. Motivation is a huge factor in that class and must always Continue reading

Fired Up
I’m pretty fired up right now and honestly, I’m not sure why. I mean, I do understand what is running through my head that is making me run arguments in circles, but these things are not necessary at all. It’s all just a part of the OCD and trying to get out of the loop. Today Continue reading

Experimental Update
Today was great. I honestly had one of the best days in the classroom that I can even remember. Each of my hours went well with only minor bumps in the road for 3rd block. First of all, I can’t even tell you how much difference is made when you and your co-teacher have a Continue reading

Trump’s "Spiritual" advisor.
Today was supposed to be a fun and relaxing day to not talk about serious issues. I was going to attempt to write a short story just to get my mind loosened and ready for homework. Then, I opened Facebook. Normally, I read news that people post and don’t have a single reaction to whatever Continue reading

105
It’s now day 3 of me trying to come up with a great title for my blogs. I just searched for “linguistic terms” in the Google machine in hopes that I can finally find something to use. Honestly, numbers alone are boring. I have done something like this before when I discovered the hidden secret Continue reading

104
Well, I still haven’t thought of a good title for my posts, but I also realized that I am probably not even at the number 104. This was a simple miscalculation between the posts that I have written and the posts that I have posted. In the past, I have tended toward having ideas an Continue reading
