Ok, I don't think I was this bad, no visible drench marks, but I will confess to some nervousness -- what if they expose me as a fraud? Use all these technical and academic phrases that cause my face to go blank and a dreaded "Uuuhhh..." to slip from my lips?
"A teacher says, Take out your pencils. Begin.
We encounter each other in words, words spiny or smooth, whispered or declaimed, words to consider, reconsider..."

Room 21
An "Online Social Learning Platform" -- the District I'd really, really love to work for is starting to work with this -- has anybody tried it?
Go the "About" link for an introduction video. I wonder if it;s used Sept through June or goes by the wayside 1/2 way through the year. What grades use it? Good intro to social networks for 3-5 grades?
no connection to Room 222?

One Step Up
After years of stressing whether there would ever be any jobs out there I could apply for, and years of stressing over those "you did not advance to the next level in the application process" automated do-not-reply emails, I can finally stress over the very real possibility I may get an interview -- now what am I gonna do?!?!?

And finally, Summer.
Year-round schools make for tough Julys... it's sunny, too hot, and the entire neighborhood is out of school except me and the boys. Until today!

Be A Heart Hero!
whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger...
So now I have to spend my Spring Break training so I can out-jump 2nd graders. I'm not working on any fancy tricks, just trying not to trip myself.
Help Me Be A Heart Hero!

Math for Two Continents
...well, sort of.
Two sites to check out. One has me stressed out since I read that Math shortcuts are straight from the devil, but that's all I know and love about math -- shortcuts! tricks! ways to get out of actually doing the math!
Math for America
And the other is a great way to clear out extra books
Books For Africa
