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

Today was another one of those days where I realized that what we were doing in class was far too much for my students. I am very glad that I decided to push them today and make sure that they were keeping pace, but I also could not see evidence of them processing the information… Continue reading

Indescribable
All was well today. Then I hopped on Facebook quick to mess around before getting back to work. I was in the middle of writing my normal class notes blog post when I noticed a posting from a friend. The name wasn’t in the message. That made it all the worse. It’s hard to describe… Continue reading

Then, I opened Facebook. Normally, I read news that people post and don’t have a single reaction to whatever… Continue reading

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

I just realized that I don’t have any fancy way of labeling these blogs. Not that it truly matters, but I did like the way it was written in the novel The Martian by Andy Weir where each day was labeled as a Sol. Sol being the term for a day on Mars because if… Continue reading

I started today thinking a lot about how teachers are expecting students to be able to participate, without modifying the way they teach. I see a lot of teachers who are modifying and adapting the assessments, but I am wondering what they are modifying for materials and teaching methods. How are they assuring that those… Continue reading
