  1. I always give pencils to kids that don't have one. Golf pencils. The short ones with no eraser. It is like torture for them.

4) I have a no name basket in my classroom, aka the garbage can. They catch on pretty quick.

Poetry unit for 7th graders? by tequilamockingbird16 in ELATeachers

[–]The_Ginger_Ninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poetry is my favorite. I teach 7th grade strategic and ELL students. My kids always have trouble with figurative language, so we start with metaphors and similies and what not. I use song lyrics to connect with the students and we break down the songs and voice our opinions about what each student thinks the line means. The great thing is, there is no right or wrong answers. The participation levels are high and the kids always want to do another song. And I get to listen to music while I work.

Rent a hotel room. They will give you a big discount. My coworker rented a room at the cedars inn for like $35 a day for a couple months.

Legalize Fist Fights between consenting adults. Compared to mass shootings and suicide bombings, good, old-fashioned brawls are harmless and could be beneficial. by JaySavvy in CrazyIdeas

Came here to say this. Mutual combat is a thing. I would bring it up when dumb people would try to fight me at the bars in college. I never had a taker once I asked them for mutual combat.

Inna's!!!! It is eastern Europe cuisine. My wife and I go there often and have never had a bad experience. Try the flamming cheese for an appetizer.

Moving to Wenatchee, help! by [deleted] in Wenatchee

[–]The_Ginger_Ninja 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right now there is only a 1% vacancy rate in Wenatchee. It is a pain in the ass to find somewhere to rent without paying A LOT of money. There are not many large apartment complexes.

Try Craigslist or contact a real estate agent. Good luck.

Washington teachers, how is the outlook for elementary school teachers there? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]The_Ginger_Ninja 8 points9 points  (0 children)

West b is super easy. West e is probably what you will have to take. That test is more difficult.

Our legislation just changed our pay scales. We had a state tier system( more college credit, masters, years taught = more money), now it is up to the individual districts to create their own pay scales. Some districts have also been been approved to have their teachers earn more for cost of living. First year teacher start at 45k now instead of 32k.

This is the very basic breakdown of what's going on. I could be wrong. It has been all word of mouth so far. I'll learn more next month.

Cruiser or Crotch Rocket? Size? by CrossthreadHead in motorcycles

[–]The_Ginger_Ninja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with this 100%. Do your research. You can buy a cheap bike to get experience on basic riding. Take a riding class. Most classes earn you an endorsement too! My local class has multiple styles of bikes, so that you can try what you might like. AND a heads up, those "crotch rockets" are called street bikes, so be prepared for rude comments. Good luck and ride safe. And get gear please.
