Test Day #2 for 8th Grade.
Well I got confirmation that I still have a position at my current school. There had been hints, but nothing was officially confirmed until today. Should be teaching at least one of the same classes next year. Hopefully that comes sooner than later. Feel like Sam Houston.
56 out of 134(42%) of my total students showed up for school today. I ain’t mad as it was a laid back day, able to help prep for the start of STAAR so tomorrow isn’t stressful, and I was able to work on my univ paper some. Oh and here was part of the view.
Undefeated and 2024 Middle School Dodgeball Champions. We won with the 5 D’s of dodgeball. Dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge!
Not my student, but a student of a first year teacher brought him a cake that basically said ‘Sorry for talking all the time in class’ today as she is leaving the school. It is kind of funny and it looked like a nice cake, but there are 🤔🤔🤔 on if anything was done to the cake.
A few more DC pictures.
A few more DC pictures. I am probably going to make a file and then share them so fellow history/social studies teachers can use them in class.
A few pictures from DC so far.
DC Trip so far.
As promised, here is me in a kilt on culture day and the last day before spring break.
Culture Day at school and I am wearing a kilt(pictures to follow). I am bound to be asked a number of questions and hear it called a ‘dress’ or ‘skirt’.
Anyone else have students who say I am in ___and I need a certain grade for ___ so is there anything I can do for extra credit? I received 2 emails, one from the student and one from the parent today. No I did not respond as I try to switch off when not in school.
‘2007? That is the Jurassic period!’-one of my 7th graders when discussing how to write academic papers and I shared when I learned a particular lesson in academic writing.

At the final senior assembly, a number of students and teachers burst into laughter when I stated that, "You need to earn your way to graduation and there won't be any last-minute bailouts." I can't imagine why they'd be laughing...
Well this is the worst take from a teacher I've seen in quite awhile...
@Angela_Watson @teachbk I’d like to request that my child never has to be taught by a neurodivergent teacher. Such bullshit. Teaching requires time management, organization, emotional self-regulation, and focus. If you need accommodations to do this job, get a new job.
This is the time of year when I find myself thinking regularly about the next school year. Do other teachers do this?
Has everyone admitted that fidget toys were a stupid and ineffectual idea in the classroom?
First thing this morning I walked into a kindergarten classroom and was bombarded with hugs and I love yous and invitations to get in the dance train. I walked away so thankful to be in a job surrounded by kids and the educators that inspire them. What a great way to start.
Had a meeting on dealing with students who are habitually late to school and teachers first periods get disrupted repeatedly. It was all about how teachers could be better trained to handle the attendance and get them caught up as opposed to expecting students to get here on time
Random question I've been mulling over....do any schools provide accommodations or support for neurodivergent TEACHERS? I'm curious if you think this is needed, and if so, what it would it look like for a school to be neurodivergent-friendly for staff.
For what we are asked to do, the school year is too short. For what we actually do, the school year is too long.
What moment in American history was the big shift away from the founding father's vision? What was the point of no return?
People who aren’t teachers just don’t understand how truly exhausting a full days teaching is.
Just got called on in my union rep role. Whether organized or not, it would seem that some of the teacher's in the building are rebeling against always having to do coverage on Fridays because so many people out. People are just not showing up for coverage.
The Mega Church Consultant 😂😎 (Part 2!)

Whatdya think? Should I say screw it to writing and advocacy and just open a classical school already?
All week I've been debating with myself... Which is more disheartening, the low behavioral standards and accountability or the low academic standards and accountability?

Here's the thing about teacher appreciation week. If your staff already feels appreciated, you don't need it. If the teachers don't feel appreciated to begin with, and feel downright disrespected on a daily basis, then no amount of jeans passes will change that
Early in my career, where I felt appreciated to begin with, the lunch they gave to us felt unnecessary but I was truly thankful for. Now that almost every day is difficult the "free donuts while supplies last" feels more like an insult than appreciation
@HistoryExtra Had the Treaty of Versailles been a little less harsh, the path may not have been cleared for what followed.
