Wow, has it ever been awhile since I've hit these blog walls.The year has been going well so far. Nothing major to report on. I am still wading through the curriculum, trying to get comfortable with it. I'm doing the best I can, and I know that next year will (hopefully) be a lot better.I have nothing more to add right now. I hope that everyone is having a fun and successful year so far!

I should be excited, right?After a somewhat restful summer, it's back to steady pay again.Is it just me or does it always seem that once you're back, it's like you were gone for a long weekend and nothing more. I suppose that's a good thing. I couldn't imagine still being on vacation mode while trying to convince the students that it's time to buck up and get back to work! I've survived my

What do you do when your report cards are due and you realize that a student missed a question in a test?Well, if you're me, you put your self into the shoes of your student, and answer the question as you think they would.Luckily for me, this is grade one.Even more luckily is that there was no writing involved (seriously, this kid's writing is atrocious - and even my fake atrocious writing would

Not that I'm counting.Now that I'm changing rooms, I need to start packing up my shit. Thank goodness the school has an elevator, because I don't think I'd be able/willing to carry boxes up stairs.

There are 5 weeks left of school.Can I get a "yee-haw!!!"?Man, I remember this time last year. Not fun for me. I was taking this killer course for my Master's program while trying to finish up the year. Everyday, I felt a little bit more like shit. Not good times. Not. I had the summer to look forward to in which I would be taking TWO courses (the final two) right up until the end of August. This

Sometimes teachers act just like their students ... IF NOT WORSE.There was a teacher at my school who actually threw a TEMPER TANTRAM at work. This is a grown woman who has children of her own. I don't know why that is relevant, but it just is. She yelled and bitched about how she hates the grade she's teaching and hates being there and bla bla bla, whine whine whine, wa wa wa, blubber blubber

If you have to think really hard about when you last wrote a post, then chances are it's been too long.So I'm no longer a grade 1 teacher for next year but am moving to a grade 8 class.

So today was "family day" which meant I got a holiday ... yippee! 3 more weeks until March break. I'm going through a really weird situation at school that I don't know what to make of. I feel like I should ignore it and turn a blind eye but at the same time I want them to know that I know and that I think they are disgusting.I know that I'm not giving a whole lot of detail here but I need to

Wow this blog has been taking a blow. I haven't been posting much at all. Most of the reason is I just feel like every post I write about work will just be littered with complaints about how I hate working with one of my teaching partners.She acts dumb so she doesn't have to do anything.She takes stuff from us (tests we make, etc.) and will not bother "lending a hand" and doing something

Two weeks into it and I already feel like an old lady. I don't know what it is but I can't believe how tired I can get (so easily too) throughout the day. Nevermind the fact that my sleeping patterns are off. Or that I don't make my lunch the night before so I rush to get it done in the morning.My new year's resolution was to get to school before the bell rings. Preferably an hour before. I've

Friday was the last day of school and I'm off for 2 wonderful weeks!! This is so needed and while I have a list of things to do that would probably give the length of Santa's naughty list a run for it's money, I am glad to do them because there will be NO CHILDREN AROUND which I think is key. I actually look forward to ticking off all those things on my list because it will feel as though I'll

This is by far the worst time of the year for a teacher. All the kids are on a constant high, anticipating the Christmas break (and let's face it the teachers are too but on a high that says I can't wait to not have to work and do absolutely nothing for two weeks).Unfortunately, this high can be destructive in a sense. We have a specific grade in our class where I swear these kids are the spawn

Seems like just yesterday that I started the school year ... and I suppose that's because I haven't been the greatest with keeping this blog up. These next couple of weeks are super hectic with Christmas stuff. It's pretty fun for the kids but tiring for me. We have our Advent mass on Thursday and I'm hoping that we don't have to walk to the Church and we just have it in our gym. It's so wet

Now that I've finished my master's degree, I've been stepping up more at work and getting more involved with clubs and such. My reason for doing so is because now I've got a ton of time on my hands and feel like I can contribute a lot to my school. It's a double edged sword though, my reasons. On the one hand I am doing this because I want to be noticed by administration. It just so happened

Well the year is pretty much underway. A month into school and I'm kinda sorta getting into the hang of it. We had re-organization at the end of last month but luckily my class was at the cap (20) so there were no changes to my class.We have new administration and I have to say that I am so lucky to have them.

So it's the third week back and I have to say that things are kinda sorta starting to calm down but not really. If that makes any sense.I have 20 kids. Grade 1 again. And I think that these kids are going to make me age just a little more than usual this year. Especially one in particular.

I never really understood what "T-minus" meant. I've just seen it and figured it was some sort of counting backwards type thingy.So 18 more days for the start of the new school year for me (I realize my teacher friends south of the border have already begun so I hope you've had a good first week). I find that since I started teaching, I think of a new year not beginning in January but rather in

Hello my friends in blogland! My apologies for my absence!!!It's true. School has finally ended for me. The last day was on Thursday the 29th of June.

I'm starting a new math unit with my class on time. One of the activities for this unit is to have students make their own clocks. So they coloured the template and pasted it onto a paper plate to make it more sturdy. The template even included a minute and hour hand (which I would fasten to their clocks so they could actually move around). I had a feeling that there would be at least one

I cannot believe that there are 2 months left of school. My does time ever fly. I have nothing interesting going on other than the fact that I'm trying my best to finish up curriculum before I send the buggers off to grade 2.

I hand out a phonics sheet for the students to complete. It's a rhyming sheet and they need to cut and paste the pictures that rhyme. One of the pictures is "dice" and the picture that needs to be pasted beside it is a picture of "mice". I guess some of these pictures are a bit confusing for some as some of them aren't sure what goes with what."I don't know what goes with mouse." My student shows

Teaching probability can be fun. Especially the informal interviews that you should conduct nearing the end of a unit.My students need to learn about the key words "sometimes, always, never" when talking about probability.Example:1. In the summer I sometimes go swimming.2. In the summer I never wear my snowsuit.3. In the summer I always have an ice cold beer on my patio every night.*So the

... it never fails to knock the wind out of you when it happens.Two years ago I did a grade 2 LTO at the school I'm at now. I was working with a teacher who had just come back from mat leave. In December of that year she found out she had cancer. Right before her 30th birthday. She took a leave and went for treatment and was back at work within a few months. Things seemed to be looking up and we

Yes it's true. Count the weekend and you'll see. And why would you want to deny yourself the two extra days anyway?SO .... it's officially Saturday. March Break is (almost) over. I have done stuff. Not all the stuff I wanted to do (up until now ... I still have two days left after all). But I did do ... stuff.Let's go through the list that I wrote out on Monday to see what I can check off.-->

I'd like to apologize in advance for these posts being boring as ass. I'm not in school therefore have no student related stories to tell. I could make them up ... but I'm feeling uninspired these days when it comes to writing.Well then. Where was I.I've pretty much done all I can do with my reports at this point. Learning skills (which is one of the biggest aspects of reports) are pretty much

Well today I had lots of stuff I wanted to do. Mainly I wanted to start studying for my exam. But of course that didn't happen because I'm a procrastination whore. It's like a drug for me. It makes me all antsy and jittery because I know I shouldn't be procrastinating and should really get on my list of things to do but I CAN'T STOP!I did get work done for my reports though so all wasn't lost.

Well it is here ... what I've been waiting for since Christmas Break ... March Break has finally arrived. This can only mean one thing ... school is over in 3 months. I realize that we are still in mid-March but once I hit March Break, as far as I'm concerned, the remaining days of this month are non-existent. It's just a blurry mass. So yeah ... 3 months left! Wasn't it September just yesterday?

Man today was a shitty day if I do say so myself. Nevermind the fact that I'm dealing with some personal shit at the moment, but then I have to have a parent go and complain about me to the vice-principal. This has never happened before and even though I still stood by my actions, I have to say that I was extremely nervous to talk to the VP and parent about it.First things first ... the fact that

I got this from Mister Teacher. It's seems pretty accurate for the most part. I don't know that I'm as mellow as they say. Is it possible for a teacher to be mellow? The teachers I know are usually frazzled most of the time, including me. In any case this was interesting.Your Brain is BlueOf all the brain types, yours is the most mellow.You tend to be in a meditative state most of the time.

You can tell if it's a full moon without looking outside.4. You believe "shallow gene pool" should have its own checkbox on a report card.5. You believe that unspeakable evils will befall you if anyone says, "Boy,

Teaching grade 1, it's important to have a phonics program put in place. These kids need to know what letters make what sounds. It's easy when it's simple sounds that are produced by just one letter, but it can be a bit more difficult for them when you're putting together several letters to make blends. I ordered story books that focused on different blends so that the story had more words

Yes, I uttered those words to my 6 years olds. I was THAT frustrated.Why oh why, do they feel the need to ask me the same goddamn question over and over again? The thing that gets me is that they hear another child ask this question, they hear me answer it, and yet they still feel the need to ask for themselves.It's day's like this that I just want to tell them all to fuck off.

As heard in the staffroom:Teacher 1: I have a student who told me that he wakes up with just his underwear wet and his mom told him that he still wets the bed.Teacher 2: Oh?Teacher 1: Yeah but he says that the only thing that's wet is his underwear. Not his pajamas. Not the sheets. Just his underwear.Teacher 2: Oh!Teacher 1: So I told him that he's not wetting the bed, but that he's having what's

They bullied me into changing into the "NEW AND IMPROVED" blogger so I merged it with my other "more open" blog.Basically I had to delete that old blog so that I wouldn't have to share the same profile with the other one. And now I've lost all of my posts and I'm just really pissed about it right now.I hate you blogger. You hear that? Fuck you.
