Teach Share. Learn. Create. Inspire. March 25, 2012. It's been a long three weeks of standardized assessments. All this testing has me thinking, how much is too much?

With 27 school days interrupted by standardized testing this school year, when is enough finally enough? There was a huge. Writes concisely and eloquently about data and Data:. You see how nice it is? Of course, you already do, and ...

Teach Share. Learn. Create. Inspire. March 13, 2013. I'm a talker. I teach 380 students per week, direct the school play, facilitate Student Council, and I talk too much.

They had blogged about their dreams for education on our Student Council blog. We looked at this post. Of photo prompts togethe...

Teach Share. Learn. Create. Inspire. July 25, 2012. How Will We Spend Our Inheritance? Bear in mind that the wonderful things you learn in your schools are the work of many generations. All this is put in your hands as your inheritance in order that you may receive it, honor it, add to it, and one day faithfully hand it on to your children. - Albert Einstein. Mrs Keller and Mrs. Stapleton were my 3rd grade teachers who truly changed my life. They introduced me to my first love- the stage! Good at underst...

Teach Share. Learn. Create. Inspire. August 17, 2012. First Week Reflections: Full STEM Ahead. 3rd and 4th graders took The Marshmallow Challenge. We had innovative design of those spaghetti structures and great reflections on how to build a stable structure. During one class I overheard a 3rd grader reassure her frantic group, "Don't worry, stay calm and relaxed! We're in this together! Came in to the lab and sat down on the carpet to bombard me with questions and bathroom requests. They were darlin...

Teach Share. Learn. Create. Inspire. September 11, 2012. Caught in a Web. Today was one of those days that affirmed my choice to leave the self-contained 3rd grade classroom and take a leap into the world of being a grades 1-4 STEM teacher. My first week. I didn't think I would survive 1st graders, but over the past few weeks 1st graders have won me over. Today was the icing on the cake. I eventually untangled myself from a mass of red yarn and am eagerly awaiting my next class of 1st graders. I am a pas...
