Do it yourself "toobaloo"

My brother the plumber has donated a few PVC elbows that I screwed together to make "self-phones" for the kids who need them. Cheap and effective!

Cheese!

We have free and reduced lunch offered. If there's a negative balance, they get a cheese sandwich. No child goes without lunch.

Teams?

It would help to know what grade you teach, but for 3rd up, you could try grouping the kids in "pods" of 4. I use unifix cubes (which, by any other name could be "tickets"). I group the kids so...

Brazil, anyone?

Ours go for weeks on end-just had a student return after being out 12 school days! Admin is cracking down: after 14 school days, they are "unenrolled". To get back in they have to have a physical,...

I keep them short and sweet (they have to fit on an Avery return address label in 9 point font)! I always start with a positive, then add a comment about where improvement is needed. I teach third

L.L. Bean

has great canvas bags that you can "customize"-add pockets, choose colors, have it monogrammed! They'll also replace it for free if you beat it to a pulp. Shipping is free, too!

Not Hunger Games!

The book is called "The Ninth Ward". It's set in Louisiana during Hurricane Katrina. I didn't read beyond the book jacket and in hindsight, probably should have. Simple truth is, I don't have the...

Banning Books?

I just got an email from a parent complaining about a book that's been "circulating" in my classroom. It was part of a bundle that came from Scholastic Arrow (more advanced) for my stronger readers....
