General Education

Why do I have to learn this? This is stupid.
A question/comment I've received from my students in various forms oh just about a million times in my short time teaching. I currently teach pre-algebra, algebra I, and geometry at a private school. I've only been teaching for a few months and I've already heard this a bunch of times. Why do I have to […]
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 […]

I got an offer from the principal of the school and then went to the Superintendents office to sign my contract and complete paperwork, mostly for payroll. They gave me the dates for orientation in August. I’m very excited!! But now […]
Middle School Teachers: how do you keep kids organized?
I did a really bad job keeping my students organized this year. Most of them recycled all of their papers (including notes) and lost every test/quiz. I started by making sure that every kid had a binder and we labeled the dividers, but eventually they just stopped bringing it. We are not allowed to enter […]
