General Education

The new teaching year has begun!!
Actually it started last Tuesday and one noticeable difference is that those boys who didn’t do squat for the last 2 years are all gone! No more stupid stuff going on in the hallways.... pushing each other, grabbing and hitting each other in the nether regions, no more openly defiant abuse of vapes and Juuls. […]
Free links! Lots of science, space, ELA, ESL, Music, Art, PD, Lesson Plans and resources. Enjoy!
It would be fantastic if we could share a link that is highly beneficial/useful, that doesn't cost a thing to use, no hoops to jump through. I encourage others to add to my links, creating some nice references to have on-hand. You can never have too many resources. I love free when it comes to […]

(Last year was .7 FTE, this year I'll be reduced to .4 FTE.) I'm interviewing with another different district to teach in their alternative/night […]

I read a quote that really […]
No Spend Challenge
I'm going to attempt to not spend any of my own money on classroom necessities this year. I do have a budget which I will respect and try to use efficiently. I will not fall for "oh, it's just a few dollars here and there". I will allow myself room for must-have pretties of no […]
