Staffroom Showdowns!: December 2007

Sunday, December 23, 2007. Last Day Of School. Friday was the last day of school and I'm off for 2 wonderful weeks! The last day was pretty standard in that the kids didn't do a damn thing other than be merry and festive and fully loaded with sugar. She stayed in her room and cleaned up/got herself organized while I was with my class (as were the other teachers) because it wasn't meant to be a planning time for us! So that totally ruined the end of my day! Anyways . Merry Christmas everyone! Unfortunatel...

Staffroom Showdowns!: January 2008
http://i-need-to-be-taught-not-the-kids.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 31, 2008. Wow this blog has been taking a blow. I haven't been posting much at all. Most of the reason is I just feel like every post I write about work will just be littered with complaints about how I hate working with one of my teaching partners. She acts dumb so she doesn't have to do anything. She takes stuff from us (tests we make, etc.) and will not bother "lending a hand" and doing something herself without having to be told. She never takes initiative. Friday, January 18, 2008.

Sunday, November 11, 2007. Man I'm not doing a great job keeping this site updated. I have another blog that I update pretty frequently and I guess it's harder than I imagine keeping two sites afloat. But I will make a vow to myself to try and post here at least once a week. Lord knows I've got stuff to write about. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I teach. And learn. View my complete profile. Fractions Speak Louder Than Nerds. Public Ed. Trenches.

Staffroom Showdowns!: It's Crunch Time Dammit!
http://i-need-to-be-taught-not-the-kids.blogspot.com/2008/06/its-crunch-time-dammit.html
Sunday, June 15, 2008. It's Crunch Time Dammit! What do you do when your report cards are due and you realize that a student missed a question in a test? Well, if you're me, you put your self into the shoes of your student, and answer the question as you think they would. Luckily for me, this is grade one. You do what you gotta do! Was it a standardized test? Because when I first read your question, my answer was: You mark it wrong. And what difference would it make on the report card?

Close Enough For Jazz. Am I a teacher of music, or a musician who teaches? Sunday, September 15, 2013. The Dark Knight Teaches. This one is for the new teachers or would-be teachers. Some time ago I wrote a post. Where I discussed the fears of teaching using the DC character Green Lantern as an analogy. I'm proud of that one. T himself. the Batman. Teaching style is my. She's going to have a different path. I can help her develop that (hopefully). but she's going to have to find her own way. ...Good luck...

4.5 Week Progress Reports Bring Out The Angry Parents! | Strange New Teacher
https://strangenewteacher.wordpress.com/2008/09/13/45-week-progress-reports-bring-out-the-angry-parents
September 13, 2008. 45 Week Progress Reports Bring Out The Angry Parents! 8212; strangenewteacher @ 2:29 pm. I survived my 5th week of teaching! I’m learning waaaaay more than I ever thought possible. Some days I love teaching, and there are a few days I question my carreer choice. I’m seriously hoping that’s normal for newbies. At that point, I shut down. I have been teaching for 4.5 weeks, but I’m supposed to already have the rest of the quarter planned out? Ummmm … because this work was completed.

Close Enough For Jazz. Am I a teacher of music, or a musician who teaches? Saturday, December 14, 2013. Hail to the Captain. So, Principal Janeway. I also get the feeling that someone warned her not to say the words "marching band" around me, which amuses me to no end. I don't care about marching band - why don't we build a big orchestra? We've got to get the counselors to stop advising kids out of music.". Can you publicize your concerts a little earlier? Thursday, December 12, 2013. Some of the groups ...

October 5, 2008. 8th week reflection: The class that just doesn’t get it. 8212; strangenewteacher @ 2:00 pm. I don’t know how it happened, but my students come into my classroom every day and get straight to work on their warmup. They are quiet and focused on the task. I hear Miss History next door yelling at her kids to sit down and be quiet, and I just want to hug mine for following my procedures. I am using Grammar With a Giggle. 9 week final exams are scheduled for next week, so I am finished teachin...

Friday, April 4, 2008. Ask And Ye Shall Receive. A recent comment by damned cat. Reminded me that I have this blog. And that I should probably update it. If you have to think really hard about when you last wrote a post, then chances are it's been too long. So I'm no longer a grade 1 teacher for next year but am moving to a grade 8 class. Thank you God. I am counting down the days (months . cries! That's all for now. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I teach. And learn. View my complete profile.
