Anyone feeling burnt out lately? Kids complaining about the work, acting helpless etc. When I introduced that we would write an essay this week their mouths dropped open, like how dare I have them w...

My class was so talkative I timed them for 21 minutes and they still wouldn’t stop talking. I told them they lost their field trip since I took letters off of the word “field trip” on the board and ...

I teach two math blocks; one upper and one lower (below grade level). I need some small group rotation ideas for my lower block. There are 21 students. I have tried math rotations in the past, but ...

When you run small groups for math, what are the things you do? Review questions, challenging questions, worksheets? I’m stuck because I want them to be the most beneficial.

I teach 4th grade. Apparently, one of my students has been recording me on his phone when I'm teaching. I was wondering if that's something he can do without my permission... Is the classroom a public...

Fall Break!!!!! It's finally here. I can't believe I used to gripe that Fall Break was stupid and a wasted time out of school. But I have totally changed my mind. Emotionally, mentally, & physically,...

This weekend I'm celebrating something big in my life. A year ago I wasn't teaching, I wasn't married, and I didn't have my wonderful pets. But this weekend marks one year of being married to my husba...

Have things changed a lot since you started teaching? I have not been teaching long so I'm not sure what teaching young children used to look like. Are there things you wish were like they used to be?

I felt like a good teacher today when my class was engaged in making posters about Yellowstone. No online research, and differentiated levels allowed all students to access this project. They turned o...

Well, here it comes! THE COLD! We are supposed to have our first frost this weekend. I'm really not ready for the cold. The good thing is that I can always layer my clothes to warm-up or cool off be...

New group of students coming to my class next grading period. The classes are huge & one class is the group that put hand sanitizer in my coffee last year. I have to admit, I'm a bit worried about de...

Yeah pretty much 😭. What do you usually bring home from school?

I have a student with a stutter. What are some tips (do's and don'ts) to help making her feel comfortable participating in whole group settings and/or reading groups? I am worried there will be bullyi...

We have open house coming up soon, and I don’t feel like I have anything to “show off” for parents. We just finished module 2, anyone have ideas I can do for a project that will take a dayish maybe t...

It is so difficult to believe that in 2 days we will be at the end of our first grading period. This 9 weeks has gone by so fast. I have so many students with missing assignments, and I feel like I ...

I'm feeling festive! Just got my nails done for my anniversary this weekend and I'm getting excited for Halloween! What are you doing to get in the Halloween spirit with your students?

Trying to grade my Argumentative Essays for my 8th Graders. The AI Checkers are pretty good, but other than Brisk, I can't find a free plagiarism checker. They say free, but then want me to pay or do...

Legitimately wondering…I am a teacher in the US and am seeing that they are having teachers going on strike in parts of Canada. Why has this not ever really happened in the US? I wonder if it could ma...

My kids are extremely chatty when they are done taking a test while others are still working. Taking recess is not working. Any other ideas how to get them to stop?
