April teacher life
April 29, 2023 Another month has gone by and most teachers are keeping count to the last day of school--seriously, just ask! (I am a 12 month teacher, so my classroom is a revolving door of new and completing students--sadly no count for me!) This month is full of activity. Many schools are beginning their … Continue reading April teacher life
Make Time For the Struggling Student

February 4, 2023 I know, it's February, and I am writing about January, but it's just that kind of month in the education world.

Never Quit On a Bad Day
January 21, 2023 I remember being told these words early on in my teaching career. It had been a rough year with a rough group of kids.
