I love teaching fractions.

like

The Stamp Act with taxation using “Smarties” and taxing the students as colonists.

I love teaching the population unit when I get to it in environmental science. They can really see how science, social studies, and other subjects start to overlap in the real world. It also has easy concepts to grasp even though it has solutions that are really hard to come up with (even the pros are still arguing about best plans)

like

Genetics

like

Teaching the concepts of Mood and Dynamics in music using Dancing Ribbons. Even the 4th graders loved them. It's great seeing them act out what they hear, from ballet to spies!

like

Hamlet. I love showing them literature isn’t an “informational text” and that Hamlet was going through a lot of the same things, girl trouble, being snarky to his parents, even thoughts of suicide. It often gets them to open up about their lives

like

Electoral College the day after the 2000 election. We were in our constitution unit. So timely.

like

I'm a biology teacher and always enjoy teaching my students about acid titration!

Figurative language - class used a Flocabulary song and created a dance to it.

Economics... Bartering... Pass out candy..have kids exchange to increase their happiness.. I give them a survey before to make sure it works..? Always fun

I did a lesson on the Titanic, it was fun for me and the kids! Did several activities related to it, great lesson!

I have 2! 1) A language intervention lesson on inventions (with a kindergartener and a 3rd grader). The students learned about different inventors and their inventions, then created an invention of their own using random items (popsicle sticks, pom poms, string, paper, glue, etc.). 2) A unit on finding, applying to, and interviewing for a job (with a senior). She picked a place of business then we talked about all the positions at that business and their requirements. We did a mock application for a position at the business, put together a resume, and then did a mock interview

Religion studies when we hit Christianity. So many questions and great discussion

I love teaching about pressure and how it relates to my Earth Science curriculum. I do several demonstrations and the kids really love seeing science in action!

Monday Morning rumination: unsolicited advise is criticism.

Much to reflect on with this topic. Last week I was told in a 1:1 with a new contact that I was “too direct”. After some time chewing on the conversation I was struggling to place the emotions I was feeling. Turns out I was feeling guilty and shame for being me, for taking up space. Lesson of the week: unsolicited advice is a criticism of you, a micro aggression of who you are, and being “too much”. What would you do??

After 18 years, I lost my art room to a classroom this year in order to spread out kids due to Covit19. They said we can’t hand out papers.. kinda thinking art is remote for all. I will do lessons on google classroom with live lesson to classrooms and home. I was told special area teachers may be “repurposed”. We will be used like a TA. One class will be spread out two rooms.Aday teacher in one room, I help in other room. B day teachers switch 😳😷☹️.. I know I’m lucky to have a job but.

I hung out this weekend with a work friend of mine. We’re both junior, but I’ve been on FMLA due to an unexpected illness so have been away for a bit. I know that I screwed up on some files before I was diagnosed which I feel awful about and have been trying to rectify (unpaid), but she spent a lot of time cataloguing the ways in which I messed up. It was supposed to be a nice weekend for once and I’m feeling more beat down than ever 😕 just not sure how to get the motivation/nerve to go back!

So, I really ****ed up today and don’t really know what to do. W/O getting into specifics, I tried to do something nice, which involved telling a lie, and then got sort-of caught, but then lied again to cover my ass, and it’s spiraled out of control and now I don’t know what to do. Obviously I need to come clean, but I just really, really f’ed up and am freaking out. Everything has been so freaking stressful lately that I’ve done things I never thought I would & don’t even know who I am anymore.
