Am I being spiteful if I feel a bit smug when the student who stood up and acted all show-boaty while totally dawging at me in class knocks on my door needing help with a missing assignment. She started a little bit arrogantly, asking me for the packet that goes with the lesson. She even returned the packet and seemed just a bit shamefaced. Come to find out, she was in detention from the write-up I did after her little defiant act in my class. Uuumph!

Haha I've definitely had those moments. But I try to remember that they're kids and kids aren't as emotionally intelligent as we wish they were. Karma bit her and it's fun to watch someone get taught a little life lesson, but haven't we all had to eat crow at some point in our lives? Hopefully this student will behave a bit better going forward.

I totally get where you're coming from, its hard to navigate tough student relationships, especially the ones who clearly aren't getting good direction. I think sometimes all we can do is vent in private then put on a good face the next day. Hopefully you can find a way to reach this girl and help her improve her attitude.

Nope you are not because I have been there. I know exactly where you are coming from and it is hard not to feel a bit smug. I won't lie, I somtimes have a little chuckle to myself.

Well we just have to love them anywhere. We still guide and love our students even when they are disrespectful. It is our chance to show them forgiveness and humility.

Hey fellow Disney Lovers,

I generally have a few lessons in which I can use Pixar shorts to teach students how to identify and discuss literary signposts, how to identify and explain the development of theme, character traits, and other narrative elements. What are some of your favorite shorts? I am trying to incorporate activities where my students get to choose their own clips for independent practice with these skills and need a variety to draw from.

I would greatly appreciate some fun/engaging/stimulating lesson plan ideas for high school students.

What is your ABSOLUTE FAVORITE lesson?

I’m looking at lessons with a pro. They offer packs of 30 min (6-pack) and 60 min (3-pack) sessions. Is there a benefit to one over the other? Is 30 too short or 60 too long?

I’ve never taken lessons before, just played my whole life. I’m a mid 80s golfer trying to get more consistent and break into the high 70s.

Today, I showed a TED Talk about the Guatemalan genocide. We were discussing the role of forensic anthropologists. It made such an impact on my students. I teach in a super red state and district and often my students do not see the pain of our Central American neighbors and why they seek asylum here. I tied their plight to my mom’s post-WWII and asked them why she was welcomed by our current immigrants are not. It was so powerful. One of my LatinoX students told me thank you for today’s lesson.

Did anyone else adopt the new Florida Wonders curriculum? We just adopted it this school year, and I teach 4th grade. My team and I have not found a good flow, schedule, or whatever you want to call it. We feel like it teaches too many skills in one lesson, and we are not able to truly teach anything “deep” enough for students to master. Does anyone have any insight? What do you do? Do you like the curriculum? Why or why not? Would you be willing to share what you do weekly/daily? Thanks!
