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. Was an example of a homograph. Here is a brief refresher course for anyone who is a little shakey on their word forms:. 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. Sunday, October 30, 2005. To My Faithful Readers. I am absolutely ashamed that it has taken me 2 months to post an update. That said, I will not be. Posting anything tonight because I am quite tired. Just wanted to let everyone know that I just purchased a new notebook and so can post from the comforts of my bed. This is exactly what I will be doing in the very near future. Posted by AHMoore at 9:14 PM. View my complete profile. Time Keeps on Slipping.

Education and Equality: November 2007
http://micbabestory.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
I am a brand new teacher, I am looking for ways to educate and inspire. Most often though, I am looking for a place to vent. Come along and share the experience. Tuesday, November 27, 2007. There are still several students who aren't responding, or those who entered the 12th grade without the necessary skills, but my classroom is showing improvement. Hopefully when I return from maternity leave I will have the same enthusiasm. Saturday, November 03, 2007. Illness and days off. I was sick this week. I...

Education and Equality: April 2008

I am a brand new teacher, I am looking for ways to educate and inspire. Most often though, I am looking for a place to vent. Come along and share the experience. Thursday, April 10, 2008. I took a three-month maternity leave, and I have returned (triumphantly? To work. It was like returning from summer break, but without the cushion of students who have allowed their minds to turn to mush over a long, hot summer. My teaching muscle was a bit weak, but my powers of observation never cease. I wasn't sure h...

Education and Equality: May 2007

I am a brand new teacher, I am looking for ways to educate and inspire. Most often though, I am looking for a place to vent. Come along and share the experience. Tuesday, May 15, 2007. I have been rehired, which is a blessing. I did not want to spend the summer trying to figure out where to work and what I should pretend to know in the fall. Next year should be much easier, just knowing the politics of the place will help. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The First 180 Days. Teaching English in Japan.

Education and Equality: Kids are funny.
http://micbabestory.blogspot.com/2008/09/kids-are-funny.html
I am a brand new teacher, I am looking for ways to educate and inspire. Most often though, I am looking for a place to vent. Come along and share the experience. Sunday, September 21, 2008. I have a group of rowdy students for 1st period. These kids are always talking and they don't spend much time working. At the beginning of the year they were all sitting together, but that soon proved a mistake. I never got a moment's peace, so I revamped the seating chart and spread them around the room.

I am a brand new teacher, I am looking for ways to educate and inspire. Most often though, I am looking for a place to vent. Come along and share the experience. Thursday, May 08, 2008. Have I lost it man? I am constantly grading papers in these last days, and it is a little overwhelming. However, I am reconsidering my teaching style. I am going to start the year with a "Skills Boot Camp" that will ensure (hopefully) that I won't see an entire essay of sentence fragments. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

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...
