Try color coordinating classes according to the colors of the rainbow: Try red for 1st hr’s GC banner, red pens for grading, red binder clips for student work. Orange for 2nd hour. 3rd hr’s yellow pen is replaced with black. Green for 4th hr, blue for 5th and purple for 6th. It also works with different test versions, the answer keys, and for recording test scores. The mind and students respect the organization.

Or just use the colors but add shapes to their signs and call the groups by the shape name instead.
It's interesting how all the rhombus students know that their materials are indigo and nobody in class is being groomed by a pyramid.

If you do that in this day and age, some right-wing nut job is going to accuse you of being a groomer.

Gosh and golly. This convo went tangent to the curve. Let’s hear about how you organize all the hooey in your classroom.

I have started to collect papers, grade them with a signature, then ask them to upload it into the Google Classroom as an electronic receipt. This way I don’t have to keep papers, they are responsible for “lost” or “missing work.”

If this flops, I will let you know!!

All my six-figure salary consultant friends are ranting about how poor they feel right now because their IRAs/portfolios are down. Think the people in this industry need to take time to volunteer or engage with some tougher parts of town and understand that by virtue of even having investment accounts, that they’re more financially safe than at least 50% of America. Sad to see

Do you find that you have little patience for texting on the dating apps? I find myself trading texts for a couple of days and then ready to either talk, meet or move on.

Hi, ladies. How long has it taken you to find a new job?

I’m currently on the hunt for a new job and I’m feeling really utterly defeated. Over the past year I’ve probably applied to at least 100 jobs and I’ve been on 8 different interviews all with no offer. I’m not sure if I’m doing anything wrong or if there is more being done behind the scenes that have nothing to do with me. Either way, I’m getting frustrated and my productivity in my current position is slacking as a result.

To put it plainly, why don't we educators invest in our professional development?

Organization is critical for classroom management. Try assembling units into Google Slides with links to ppts, activities, etc. Color code them according to the rainbow: Unit 1 red, Unit 2 orange etc. It takes a minute at first but the payoff is a one click upload for next year! PS I use the same color code system with felt tip pens to grade my classes: 1st hr red, 2nd hr orange etc.

Start each class with a few seconds of stillness. It takes consistent practice. Most students will blurt something silly out after about 4 seconds. Expect it and smile. After time is up ask students to notice what they were doing during that time. No shame. Notice and strive to be more still next.

1. Hands, feet, mouth, arms, legs still (a veritable challenge)
2. Close the eyes.
3. Long exhales to bring in the calming chemical acetylcholine.
