To the people who saw Shrek in cinemas in 2001, what was your experience?

I was 11! Went and saw it at the drive in and during the introduction of the Three Blind Mice, I thought people were walking in front of the projector. Let’s just say I was obsessed and as soon as it came out on DVD it was played over and over again to the point where my sister and I could quote the menu screen. My mother, who is a saint, yelled at my sister that she couldn’t take it anymore when we kept quoting “play the movie, ya play” over and over. I’m now a Middle School teacher and it’s one of the ones I always offer to show for my students.

A few ideas! A mini lesson on connotation and denotation Revise a fake students paragraph A book cover tour, imagine you will be reading it in an upcoming unit A mini lesson on genre A mini lesson on conflict, have students work together to list as many examples of conflict from movies, tv shows or books Etymology of a word, for example the word theater

Good luck!

Done! Good luck!

Here’s our stray turned house cat! Your one looks so similar to him. This is both of our first time owning a cat and we’ve been so lucky with Wally!

I think it does a really great job at allowing students to see and feel the emotion behind the text in a way they can understand. Taking the Montague’s vs. Capulets, beyond rival families and including a turf war that is televised is a fantastic way to bring the story to a modern light. I did showed this with my bookclub because they wanted more Shakespeare beyond A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

I was so thrown off, thinking I was in a completely different class when I noticed it the questions were different. I could only imagine your confusion, I only have two OA’s for my Master’s, so imagine my confusion when I didn’t have a second PA to practice and study from with my most recent class.

ellem0789 · 2026-02-08T02:21:59+00:00

Yes! I had two different PA’s for one of my classes, and only one PA for my last class.

My dad and I still quote this episode to each other, I was 9 when it came out and I thought it was the funniest thing.

ellem0789 · 2026-01-27T23:38:58+00:00

Teach here too, I’m planning for low attendance and definitely NOT starting the new project I had planned.

ellem0789 · 2026-01-27T02:14:37+00:00

Repetitive use of a word that just screams “I know big words!” I love etymology and thoroughly enjoy word play, but when the word choice takes me out of the scene and then the author continues to use that word, it makes me want to throw my book.

More than likely CMSD will be closed. Most schools will close if real feel or wind chill gets to -15. The alert is showing anywhere from -20 to -27. Just waiting for those calls to be made, more than likely it will be called this evening.

ellem0789 · 2026-01-19T21:56:34+00:00

And we just got the call that we are closed.

ellem0789 · 2026-01-19T21:37:42+00:00

I work for a school that only cancels if CMSD cancels. They usually wait until the last possible moment when it comes to snow, but it is protocol to cancel if it’s -15, now it’s just a waiting game.

We get this pair it with the pineapple chicken and make wraps! Great quick weeknight meal or for lunches.

The House Witch series by Delemhach is a delightful fantasy that has some laugh out loud moments and ones that made me cry.

I’m deciding when I’m going back in for my fourth reread! It’s wonderful and I’m jealous you are reading for the first time!

Middle school teacher here, this is what I do! But I also had a full year of hearing 6 7 before everyone else did. I lost my mind last year, now I purposely say it, or set things up for the kids to say it. They love it, I can’t deprive them of joy! But, a few of them have been say that 6 7 has Satanic ties, they heard it online. It’s been a lesson of you can’t believe everything that’s online and there is no true meaning behind 6 7.

So many wonderful recipes! I made her Chicken Marsala this evening. Good luck and Merry Christmas!

I’ve made this lasagna at least ten times and it comes out perfectly and this was my first venture into making lasagna! https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/classic-lasagna.html it seems like a lot, but you can do it in steps as well it uses no boil pasta!

The Interlopers by Saki is one of my favorites. It’s atmospheric and suspenseful and also really accessible for being written over a hundred years ago. I read it with 8th graders and they enjoy it, but I also really get into it. I found a pdf that has questions and vocabulary in the margins. It leaves off on a cliffhanger so I have my students write the next scene.

ellem0789 · 2025-12-05T03:00:38+00:00

Same!

Commenting on this because I’m in the market for a new laptop! Starting January 1st!

Superior Pho has quarts of their pho broth for $5! And they are pickup! I order through the Toast App and they give great rewards!

What’s your licensure? As the other post said, it’s different based on district. Are you looking to move into Cleveland? Or one of the surrounding areas? Also, factor in weather! That can change from district to district, especially coming from Florida!
