@jenteach13 You will absolutely not ever have time at school for planning, no matter what admin says.
You will do it all on your own time.
And, o matter how much time you spend, it's never enough.
So, just comfortable being unprepared. One day it'll click.
@bdubalerts@staccato2011 Ahhhh, gotcha!
Didn't realize it had a long range.
Sounds like I need to check this out.
Grew up duck/dove/squirrel hunting so shotgun is my love language.
@rchiesa11@TizzyEnt You're confusing "free speech" with "consequence free speech" and sister, those or two different things.
She deserves to be fired and publicly humiliated. All racists should be shamed into the shadows and made to feel embarrassed.
@jenteach13 Yes, and your recent post about teaching 10 yo's to suture a wound and empowering them to realize they can do things "only adults can do@ resonates so much w/ me. They were so stoked that they were doing college level math!
@jenteach13 Told my admin that teaching math didn't even make my top 5 priorities each day.
If the students weren't 1) present 2) fed 3) safe 4) engaged 5) happy... I wasn't going to be able to teach them about common denominators
@jenteach13 13 - I had to explicitly use Bridge's "Number Corner" beginning of every class. Students hated it. I hated it. Three months in to last year, I scrapped it, using my own brain teasers to get the hook. By EoY I had my 5th graders doing the Josephus Problem, discreet mathematics.
@LoewyLawFirm We have tons of trains in the good ol' US of A.
They're just used for transporting oil and cattle; not people.
Anyone growing up in Southeast Texas can tell you that!
