@bjohnsonEDU Very true! Part of the “grit” that I teach yearly is plain life skills. We want students to grow up and be productive adults, not all parents show that example so I make it a part of my class.
@bjohnsonEDU I’m actually referring to the ones that are capable of mastering anything in life but feel that they do not have to do the work, years of being passed to the next level while doing no work is not teaching our students about life. They can not go jnto the work force and do that.
8th graders asked to have a Hot Chocolate Party during lunch....of course. They choose to come to my room and watch a cartoon. Love these kids! #ERMSrocks
I’ve accepted a challenge from @matt_johnson423 to post 7 covers of professional books I love: no explanations, no reviews--just covers. Each time I post a cover, I’ll ask someone else to take up the challenge. 1 cover a day for a week. My day 1 nomination is @Caldwell4
Having had time off due to surgery, I can honestly say that I miss my kiddos! Teaching is hard mentally and some days physically but look at these faces!!! Love love love #ermsrocks#hcdeengage
3 schools in Hamilton County in select company in Tennessee. East Ridge Middle, Loftis Middle and McConnell Elementary are among 65 schools in the state to score Level 5 across all subject areas on TVAAS! https://t.co/Uj7gGmQkwm
Middle school is the best! The students complain about an assignment but then end up enjoying it, plus we can talk about American Ninja Warrior!! #ERMSRocks#WeAreHamilton
