The First 180 (and more):My First Year of Teaching. Thursday, July 28, 2005. I had a conversation with a friend last night and in this conversation I very vividly remembered a Language Arts lesson from my elementary school years. I remember a teacher telling us that.

Are words that sound alike but have different meanings like fair (just) and fair (festival). ( Homophones. Are different&...

The First 180 (and more):My First Year of Teaching. Saturday, November 19, 2005. I am so happy I am outta that place. I wish this were not the case, but in my modest experience it certainly has been. Should I have explained to her how different my teaching experience has been so far? Should I have told her that some of my kids have brothers and sisters older than me? Could I have told her that I think my kids respect me more because I have seen some of their favorite rappers in concert? The kids worked o...

The First 180 (and more):My First Year of Teaching. Thursday, May 26, 2005. I realized that I have used the term "Title I" several times without an explanation. Well, that was very un-teachery of me. Title I schools" refers to those schools that receive funds under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA). Most of you are probably more familair with the No Child Left Behind Act, which is essentially an updated version of the originial ESEA. Posted by AHMoore at 2:37 PM. I rece...

The First 180 (and more):My First Year of Teaching. Wednesday, August 24, 2005. I was up until 2 am last night doing preparations for the school year which is very strange because it wasn't entirely necessary. (I can't wait to see how late I stay up when I actually have more pressing tasks to tend to.). New teachers do not have the network of resources or even physical supplies that veteran teachers have established over their years of teaching. As this article points out. That becomes a further burden w...

The First 180 (and more):My First Year of Teaching. Thursday, December 08, 2005. I apologize to the friends and family who have already received this email.). Today, however, was a special day. After the first stanza of Imagine, one of my most ADDed-out kids started humming. A few moments later, he started singing the words. No hell below us. Then Ms. Chatty McChatterson in the back row who is constantly talking and giggling chimed in. Above us only sky. Imagine all the people,. Sharing all the world.

The First 180 (and more):My First Year of Teaching. Wednesday, March 08, 2006. Perhaps the best lesson I can pass along to my upper- and middle-class students is to merely point them in the direction of their foreign-born classmates, who can remind us all that education in America is still more a privilege than a right.". Even though I don't have any upper- and middle-class students, this teacher raises a very interesting point. Some kids really are just. Posted by AHMoore at 9:10 PM.

The First 180 (and more):My First Year of Teaching. Monday, January 30, 2006. Who thinks I can get away with it? Picture (no pun intended) this. I will calmly walk up to Bronson Arroyo warming up (not in the teenage girl hysteria that I approached him last summer) and ask if I could take a few shots for the ummmmmmm what am I taking pictures for again? Let's go all the way this year, ladies. Posted by AHMoore at 8:18 PM. View my complete profile. Today, I played basketball for the first time this.

The First 180 (and more):My First Year of Teaching. Monday, February 20, 2006. What I Did on My February Vacation: Part 1. An 8-year-old and an 11-year-old beat me in Monopoly today. When they decided to join forces against me, I actually reached for the rule book. I quickly harnessed my competitive nature and told myself that it is. For me to lose a game to a few elementary school kids (once in a great while). PS At one point, I had 3 houses each on my Park Place and Boardwalk properties. Damn.). They w...
