It is the first weekend after the first two days of school. This caped teacher has been trying to mix in some good downtime, some quilting time, and some cleaning time in with her working time. As can be expected, though, all of my newest little cherubs are swirling around in my head. There are…
Subject line of an email I received this week: Last Chance to register for Gang Violence Have decided not to register for this professional development opportunity. I feel that, perhaps, I do not need to include gang violence in my repertoire of talents.
Here it is, the first official Teacher Work Day of the 2010-2011 school year. Two days until the kidlets come stompin’ in the door. How does this happen so quickly? What happened to the Summer? Why didn’t I get all of that planning done? And, while I’m at it, why are there no size “B”…
Oh my faithful readers! Uh… reader. I have found the perfect item with which to refresh our inspiration to teach and carry on with our amazing lives!

from The Onion I had to break up a fight yesterday. Let me share some of the phrases that were being bandied about (with some details altered to protect the guilty): A: “It’s 10:55.” B: “Nuh-uh, it’s 10:54.” A: “My watch says it is” B: “Then check your cell phone.” A: “You can’t talk to me like…
I have a request… I am looking for a bunch of small flash drives for my students. I was shopping online and realized that lots of companies seem to be handing out little flash drives with their logos on them for advertising. I don’t need tons of space on any one flash drive, just enough…
Working on colors with a very young boy-child with no school experience… Me: Show me green. D: Green. Me: Good! Show me yellow (putting yellow and purple in front of him). D: Green. Me: That was green. Now show me yellow (pointing to yellow and purple). D: See the TV? Me: Yes. Now show me yellow.…
