Tuesday, June 25, 2013. Book Club - Chapter 7 The Five Rules. To start at the beginning of this book club with me:. Buy the book Whole Brain Teaching for Challenging Kids.

FACS Classroom Ideas: Food for Thought: Bell Ringers
http://www.facsclassroomideas.com/2015/07/food-for-thought-bell-ringers.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Food for Thought: Bell Ringers. I do like using bell ringers - you know, those little writing prompts or activities at the beginning of class that get kids thinking about what they'll be doing today (while you're taking attendance and juggling 4 million other things); but it took me a while to find a system for them that I really liked. So when I moved to binders, I placed a little packet of bell ringer sheets in with everyone's syllabus, etc:. This worked so much better! Then I m...

FACS Classroom Ideas: March 2015
http://www.facsclassroomideas.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 29, 2015. PARCC, Social Media, AFT, and "Privacy". So I'm taking a break from this (rather slow) description of my transition from teaching to the "other side" to ask this question: Why do people still believe that they have an expectation of privacy on social media? Perhaps like me you recently received this email from the AFT:. Warning: Rant headed right for you. If you put something out there for everyone. Teach them that social media is NOT PRIVATE!

http://www.facsclassroomideas.com/2015/07/prenatal-timeline-activity.html
Friday, July 31, 2015. In keeping with my theme of short group activities (can two days be a theme? Here's another one that's been really successful. That contain week numbers and a description of something that happens during the prenatal period. I ask them to work together to take their best shot at matching up the week with the correct description. (These really aren't the best pictures, but it gives you a little something to visualize.).
