i'm not a teacher but i like this!

good luck to all you teachers out there!!



*dances the "i graduated college" dance*

You sure do a lot of dancing.....

haha! that is my thing! i dont even remember how it started!! i used to post here ALL the time about a yr ago and then i didnt have internet so i couldnt post. but now i am back and all the old people remember...

it's kinda like my signature thing to do!!


*dances a "i love dancing" dance* :D :D :D

LOLOL! Or ya break down and yell at the kids.

thanks so much!!!!!

i really needed that after my day today- i was about to freak out on the kids!

amen, honeychile. amen.

HAHAHHAHAHAHHA
LOVE IT!

Oh wait, shit. I have lesson plans to finish.....

Hahaha... I know what you mean... I don't exactly want to freak out at my 7th graders, but I just want them to sit down and be quiet for more than 30 seconds. I have them right after their lunch - I think that might be part of the problem.

I <3 you, honeychile,

Definitely needed after a long day!

Ah...what a good note to come home to. I had zombies for the first half of the day and then chatterboxes. I planned for 10 hours over the weekend, and I still don't have everything ready for the entire week....and don't even get me started on how much grading I have to do!!

Have you tried SSR for about 15 minutes? You have to do it too(that's the catcher)...we do that at the HS where I teach and it really calms them down. We didn't do it my first year, and we've been doing it now for 3...it's awesome. =) And it doesn't matter if you're not an English teacher...with all the Reading across the curriculum stuff just have them take out a good book and start reading...I also have my kids bring in books to keep on my shelves for others, they get one extra credit point per book and I have the ability to say no to their book so I don't get stuff like BSC and goosebumps.

PM me with questions.:)

You think working with 7th graders is bad , try working with 2 yrs all day like I do. :) I certainly feel your pain

eta: I love your signature line.

cute

Usually, that's when most students begin to wind down. At least some HSers do. :confused:
