Jim's News You Can Use. Monday, February 11, 2013. The Great Backyard Bird Count. My new career as a middle school teacher leaves me with very little time to blog, but I am making time today to write about this upcoming event: the Great Backyard Bird Count.

Night classes, which met Tuesdays and Thursdays, began at 6pm, putting my drive to class in the middle of rush hour.

http://jimsnewsyoucanuse.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Jim's News You Can Use. Monday, November 19, 2012. My First Month as an Educator. The biggest challenge so far, I think, is the need for making split-second decisions a hundred times a day. Can I let this kid go to the bathroom? Where is the makeup work for that kid? Do I have time to finish this lesson? Are they ready for a quiz tomorrow? What will be on the quiz? The kids had never heard of the show but really enjoyed the segment. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Good Stuff For Free.

Jim's News You Can Use: E-Cycling
http://jimsnewsyoucanuse.blogspot.com/p/e-cycling.html
Jim's News You Can Use. One of the reasons I started this blog was so I could share good information about recycling, especially when it comes to electronics. I feel that too many old computers, TVs and DVDs are ending up in landfills when they could be put to better use. In Hampton Roads, we have two great options for e-cycling. Both are convenient and, even better, they're free. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Good Stuff For Free. Paul and Kathys Excellent European Adventure, Day 1:. She Lives on Less.
