I do so much lecturing on procrastinating that no one would know I am the WORST procrastinator ever. Constantly flying by the seat of my pants. What's something you drill into your students, but never do yourself?

Mine is breakfast! I lecture my kids all the time about being tired and having no energy in class because they use breakfast time at school to play outside. I'm usually lecturing because I'm so tired of teaching with no breakfast in my stomach! Total hypocrite.

Oh, my goodness, this thing about breakfast is totally true! In my honest opinion, I think we are trying to force our bodies into an unnatural pattern in that for many, your body is not really wanting food until you've been up and going for several hours. We are trying to force-feed ourselves when we really aren't hungry yet. Add that to the fact that many schools start insanely early and no wonder none of us want breakfast and yet end up hangry a few hours later.

In several other nations, they usually start school and take a break for a small mid-morning meal an hour or two afterward.

What’s your opinion on math homework? I teach 4th grade and have always given it but I’d like to see what others do and weigh out if it’s really worth it.

Does anyone know a great 7th grade math workbook? Our school system does not buy the students books.

I feel like I’ve spent so much money on Amazon and TPT but it never ends up being what I want. It’s usually too easy. I would be grateful for any ideas, suggestions or actual workbooks names. Thanks.

I’m teaching summer school at a high school, and the co-principals have asked me to focus on only 2 to 3 chapters worth (what they are calling “2-3 standards” in the eight days of summer semesters. However, they are also asking me to give kids the midterm and/or final at the end of each period, which covers 4-5 chapters each semester. My question is this: “Is it legal by California Ed code for the administration to ask me to teach less than each entire semester, yet test each whole semester?”

I finally was able to convince my principal that we need a consistent math intervention at the MS level (grades 5-8). (Right now, we are just "doing our own thing," which isn't helping students progress much.) Does anyone have any suggestions? It would be beneficial to have some sort of progress monitoring tool as part of the program, if possible. Our classes run roughly 55 minutes (which is too long for an intervention, in my humble opinion).

Thanks for any advice.
