Overheard at ATIA…
Have lots of left over roll lamination… There is always lamination leftover when you use the roll laminator. While sitting in a presentation on Thematic Units made EASY by Aimee Solutions, someone suggested a great use for that leftover lamination.

In favor or against the “teachable moment”… I have felt like we’ve had several such moments since beginning this book. When reading with my small group I really try to connect them with history. I feel good, but what comes of the “teachable moment?” … Continue reading

Benchwarmer? I Think Not!
I say, no, no, no. A THOUSAND TIMES NO! My dear readers, I say this very emphatically, “I am no benchwarmer!”

Teachers Anonymous
(you know, instead of AA)
We would all sit in a circle, then one by one we would introduce ourselves: “Hi, my name is Sarah. I’m a teacher and my best is never good enough.”
Then we’d all go out for drinks and laugh about our kids and cry about our administration.
After that, we’d fall asleep promptly at 7:30 from sheer exhaustion…

I’ve been grading the vocab tests for the chapter book and students are doing wonderfully! Unfortunately we’ve switched so many things around I can’t sure at all that it’s due to the book and the context. I like that we’ve had students highlight the wo… Continue reading
