How do they do it?!?

The past two summers were full of preparation for this year. I was taking classes to renew my license, learning all about technology in the classroom and reinventing myself as a classroom teacher after 12 years at home with my daughter. I was participating in twitter chats, taking webinars, and... Continue reading

Sub Tubs and Missing Persons

Back in February I participated in a #kinderchat on Twitter about preparing for absences and planning for subs. In discussing how some of these teachers prepare for a substitute teacher, I heard a new term: Sub Tub. This was an intriguing idea to me, so I did a little online... Continue reading

Things Got a Little INTENSE yesterday...

I took a look at the topic for Friday's early #gtchat and the topic was "INTENSITY: A Closer Look at the 5 Overexcitabilities". I drew a complete blank on the topic, but chat was getting started, so I made a quick intro and settled in to listen. To be honest,... Continue reading

Differentiation: Look Both Ways

Reflecting on the #gtchat I participated in this past weekend: I am not a GT teacher, nor do I anticipate ever being a GT teacher. I am the sister in law of a GT man who has had a hand in producing a GT child that nearly lost all love... Continue reading

After a decade-long hiatus as a SAHM, I am preparing to reenter the workforce as a full time elementary teacher. When I was teaching, I specialized in Pre-K, and unwisely let my credentials expire in a year I am embarrassed to mention. I am subbing and taking online courses through... Continue reading

I only have a kitchen because it came with the house...

I found recipe cards recently that said that, and I had to buy them for myself. I am not a good cook. I don't enjoy cooking, which means I don't do much to get better. I like to bake, but... Continue reading

My Life As A Reader

I have not read as much in the past year as I usually do. I am not entirely certain what accounts for this, but there's a good chance it's related to the fact that I started subbing in February. Caring for three kids this past summer probably cut into my... Continue reading

Coming Late to the Party

I have been very neglectful of this blog. I think I really never developed any momentum with it, so it was that much easier to let it slide. I find myself forever stumped with what I will write about, so I was thrilled to find this Fall Blog Challenge over... Continue reading

Confucius says...

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. -Confucius It's a bit ironic that thousands of years later, we're still defending a simple truth proclaimed by an ancient Chinese philosopher. Students learn and retain more from the experience of project based learning than... Continue reading

In 1991 I graduated from Syracuse University, a newly minted Elementary School teacher. A crowded job market and a last minute move later and I found myself "temporarily" teaching preschool. That temporary job lasted pretty much the next 10 years. Then, while living in India, we added this beautiful little... Continue reading

Today I was folding the laundry and I came across Em's shirt from the Broadway show Wicked. It is pink and simply says "Popular" across the front. That prompted some humming of this catchy tune. Here are some excerpts: Popular!... Continue reading
