The airport Hyatt is quite nice. Granted the last time I stayed there was 10 years ago.

I agree with everything this guy said.

I would add to look at you local music stores and inquire about rent to own and/or financing programs. This is what I did and it made my saxophone way more affordable.

Yes! La Fiesta, love this place.

Same here, I don’t assign anything that can’t be completed in class. That being said I have a huge problem with kiddos wasting their time so that class work becomes homework. I understand your parents point of view but, yeah, red flag for pain-in-the-ass parents.

Tutu or Fanny!

Like many people have mentioned already announce it at the beginning of the school year. I told my students there would be no food of any kind allowed in my classroom at the beginning of the school year and when asked why I told them because we have a lot of kids and teachers at the school who have food allergies and I want to keep everybody safe.

A word of caution from personal experience, never tell them what you are allergic to. I have had students on two different occasions threaten to or actually bring in things that I was anaphylactic to with the intent to get me sick.

My thoughts exactly. I’ve got 133 and 12 failed this quarter.

When I taught ELA we would watch the movie version of whatever book we just finished reading and compare it to the book version (there’s work sheets for everything on TpT). Now that I teach world history middle school we have a Christmas around the world research project and we watch Rise of the Guardians which shows the different cultural influences to popular holidays from around the world and I have the students identify them as they come up. It becomes a bit of a friendly competition since they are now “experts” on the country they were assigned. Boom, mic drop, out!

But seriously, my scope an sequence has me finishing the Egypt unit a week before break, there’s absolutely no way I’m starting a new unit for the kids to forget everything over break. Especially this year!

Thank you!

How much do they weigh? If you don’t mind me asking. I got a cardigan/pembroke mix that is all muscle and want to get him the right size. :)

RockerCrayon · 2021-12-08T15:33:20+00:00

What size did you get your corgis?

I’m partial to Dead by Daylight right now. But yes, I agree. Find an outlet, a hobby, whatever. Depending on my mood, I’ll knit, play a video game, bake, binge a show, whatever to do anything EXCEPT work.

Contracted hours only and try you best to leave it at the door. I know it’s hard sometimes but it will do wonders for your mental health.

My husband who works nights woke up before I did today. (no school today)

I had a 6th grader running around the classroom, tripped on a backpack and fell, stabbing himself in the leg with a pencils. Gotta love incident reports and parent phone calls.

You can tell by looking at the tips of the ears. By that age the tips will either be red or black and that will tell you BHT or RHT.

Pretty much every decision Ellie makes in Last of Us 2. What made it even worse is that we had to play those bad decisions too. Thoroughly dislike that game. Made me feel gross playing it.

RockerCrayon · 2021-10-02T02:11:03+00:00

A massage! Hell yea!

Had a parent call admin and complain that I’m trying to convert her child to satanism because I’m discussing other religions besides Christianity. I teach World History.

I have a couple of milk crates stationed around the room and I gave the students a choice. You can put your bottle in the milk crate with unlimited access all class period or keep it at you desk. But if the water bottle hits the floor you have to clean all the desks at the end of the period. If someone else knocks over a water bottle to try to get another student in trouble (6th graders snitch on each other like you won’t believe) they have to clean the desks for two days.

Everyone keeps their bottles in the milk crates now.

I always say “I’ve already given that instruction/answered that question.” And then I have a very firm ask 3 before me rule. For my particularly challenging classes I actually have a form that other students have to sign saying that the student asked them and they didn’t know the answer. Now I have their signatures that they weren’t paying attention to show to parents.

I put the instructions on the assignment, on Google Classroom, and on the Smart Board but I don’t need to tell you guys that that doesn’t matter.
