My day (the Friday before break! WOOHOO!!) was bookended by a very rude parent, and it's a woman I can't even remember seeing before today. It was raining pretty hard when I arrived at school this morning, but I have no doubt that this woman didn't need that as an excuse to pull into our ...

Today was truly an exercise in patience. As usual, I found myself wanting... Since we discussed and classified 2-dimensional shapes yesterday -- and the explanation for yesterday's debacle was merely, "I sat on it" -- today we talked about 3-dimensional shapes. Not only did we talk about them, I ...

Today's activity was creating 2-dimensional shapes using marshmallows
and toothpicks. The marshmallows were the points and the
toothpicks were the line segments. Things were going swimmingly, we had covered angles, lines, rays, quadrilaterals, all ...

It's all fun and games until somebody gets a toothpick ...

We just ended the 2nd six weeks' grading period, and the last topic of research was graphs. Bar graphs, tally charts, pictographs, you name it. It was a pretty fun topic to teach AND practice, and the kids seemed to be getting it pretty well. They really had no problem identifying the numbers ...

I may have mentioned it before once or twice, but at my school, we all have bus duty at 3:00. Since about 90% of our kids ride a bus to get home, we have roughly 10 buses, and we all have to get the kids loaded up and shipped home. Most of these kids have been riding a bus since kindergarten. ...

Fate can be a fickle thing. Sometimes it showers you with money, sometimes it drenches you in... well, let me take a step back. Today was an average Friday. One kid out for truly bizarre reasons, one kid tattling on another for something he didn't even witness, one horribly written math common ...

This week's Carnival of Education is being hosted at I'm a Dreamer , and the host was gracious enough to include a last minute entry by yours truly. My post of What's the Difference is part of the midway. But not only that, the entry by Mr. D of I Want to Teach Forever also references me -- ...

At least I hope it is just the Monday blahs. I have felt really down today. Maybe it is partly because I am recovering from a cold. Maybe it is partly because I feel sore all over (either from volleyball or pulling weeds?). Maybe it is because I didn't sleep well last night. But I think it is ...

Well, we gave a subtraction test this past Thursday, and MOST of my kids did pretty well. Which is a good thing, since we've been practicing subtraction pretty extensively for the past 2 weeks!! The good news is that I started the year with about 4/5 of my kids thinking that 2-8=6 (not ...

I called in sick today for the first time this year. I very rarely miss school, but I was just feeling horrible yesterday, and being able to sleep in till 11 this morning certainly seemed to help that some. I'm still stuffed up and I still have a sore throat and a headache, but at least I'm not ...

I had my first observation today. Don't know if I can call it an official or unofficial obervation, but the principal walked in midway through math class and sat in the back and watched. At the time, I was throwing tennis balls at one kid while calling him unflattering names, so I don't know how ...

Tomorrow is an early release day for DISD. At least for the kids, who get to leave at 12:30. For the teachers, early release day usually turns out to be a LONGER day than most, because after the kids go free, the teachers meet to analyze the recent benchmark (BM) tests. Joy. I can't wait to ...
