The every other week is due to our district making a "priority plan" where we teach grammar and writing one week and spelling and writing another week. It's a nightmare, and in the past I just did...

How to grade spelling?

Out of 20 students, I have 1 that is on grade level. Half the class is 2 or more grade levels behind. In fact, I have at least 4 that read at a Kindergarten level (in 4th grade).
I am mandated to...

Sweeping reform

We really need to pull back on academics, especially at the primary level. Many (if not most) kids are NOT developmentally ready to learn to read at age 5. Their brains have not developed the...

Research

Actually, research has shown that holding kids back does not help them. It's not a mental health thing, it's simply not effective. And the research HAS shown that kids who are help back are more...

We have no outside option, can’t distance

I’m in Alaska, so outside lunch is really not an option. Our cafeteria is small, so there is not way to distance.
What is planning time? We get zero planning time during the day. I’m in the...

Lunch in the classroom sucks.

I hate that we have to have lunch in the classroom. My kids eat in about 5 minutes, and then are obnoxious the rest of the time. I really hope we can go back to eating in the cafeteria next year.

I Second "Second Step"

We use Second Step school wide, and I really like it. The Day 1 lesson is the longest, but it only takes a few minutes on the other days.

She came in like a wrecking ball.

She came in and immediately started yelling at my kids - with me right there. They were working on a social studies project, so they were in small groups around the room. Two girls were working...

Picking your battles.

We just now got a building sub for the first time all year (with 8 days left of school). From February until now our specialists have been filling in.
I had to be out yesterday afternoon for my...

Integrated

Some places are beginning to teach integrated mathematics, instead of the traditional: Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II pathway (which makes zero sensein mathematics education). That's what this...

Books

This year I’m going to let each of them choose a book from the classroom library to take home and keep. Many of my students don’t have books at home, and they live to read.

Told a kid to shut up.

Yeah, not proud of it. Second time in my career that I've done it. But this kid wouldn't shut up. The class was working on iReady diagnostic (computer based standardized testing), and he kept...

Helping students with organization

I want to make it a priority next year to help students stay organized.

A week in advance

We come back to work a week before the students, and any collaborative planning is done at that time.
That being said, we are given a pacing guide by the district, and subject area schedule by our...

Testing, testing, testing.

We had our state-mandated standardized testing April 6-8 (for my grades). Today and tomorrow is MAP testing (growth), and NEXT week is iReady online testing.
How do they expect us to "catch up" all...

I asked for clarification.

It is new. It's her thing. I will only provide positive feedback.

I'm really disappointed that she called me by the wrong name in her email reply. You would think after a year of working here,...

Evaluating other staff?

We have a new principal this year (well, she's interim, but will be permanent). She sent out an email asking us to evaluate non-certificated staff. If we work with a TA, we're supposed to evaluate...

This is the first time!

I have never sat at my desk before this year.
But I have a 4/5 combo class with academic levels from mid-K to 8th grade (seriously). That combined with Covid restrictions mean there is more...

Ugh. I have two girls, and I constantly call the one girl by the other's name. Like they are Susie and Barbara, and I constantly call Susie Barbara - but NEVER the other way around. They both have...

Stop talking to me!

I ended up having to move my most challenging student next to my desk because he kept talking to other students and distracting them.
Now he won't stop talking to me. Whenever they are working...

Nothing definitive, but a plan

We have a 3 option plan: Low risk, we go back as usual. Medium risk, some type of hybrid - maybe half the students in the morning, half in the afternoon. High Risk, online learning only.
