EXERCISE ROLL CALL for Thursday

by judycaret

May 11, 2017

Yikes, I just typed a long entry and it disappeared as I was almost done. Very annoying.

I walked 90 joyous minutes on this crisp and clear California day. I was particularly happy to get out as I was stuck at home the last 2 days (and will be tomorrow).

I'm still using MyFitnessPal to keep myself honest. I hate entering all foo...See More

men52 I cancelled my class again today as I still am having sinus problems. I need to kick this before I try getting up on a bike again. I just take a lot of naps and watch a lot of tv. I have had this for a month now. That has been the extent of my exercise regime this week. Glad to read others are getting out and moving!

elsiev I believe you must take and earn a qualifying score on the math and the science Praxis test in order to add to your existing certificate.

Summer Reading Activity List

by K

May 11, 2017

I am creating a list of summer reading activities for kids in Grades K - 3. I thought others might be doing the same and we could share our ideas. I'll start us out...

I am sending home jumbo sized craft sticks with the following on them:

Partner Read, Round Robin, Popcorn Read, Girls Read, Boys Read, You Read the Dialogue and I'l...See More

Too complicated I teach middle school and from what the kids say, these things make reading more of a chore. I have kids in K-5 and they hate these things, too. So I tell them that as long as they read, I don't care about silly things like this. They don't have to make a list, either. If you have to write down the title, author, etc, kids will take the easy road a...See More

K If you do not wish to participate, that is fine. This is obviously a topic that has caused you consternation in the past.

My younger students, however, love these activities in small group reading and are thrilled that I am sending home a few materials for them to use at home. I am not overwhelming them with projects or materials, but simp...See More

Eating out with other people

by don't wanna share!

May 10, 2017

So, from time to time we go out with friends. We are saving for a house so hubby and I don't go out all that often; when we do it is a treat. But everyone likes to order things I don't care for (calamari, etc) and then want to "sample" what I've ordered but then that leaves me with little to eat. There's a dessert that I love (Atlantic Beach Pie) a...See More

AM I've never had people do that when I eat out but rather than not go out why not just say no. There are a million nice ways to say it. They think it is OK because you always agree. You decide how people are going to treat you. Just tell them you prefer not to share food as you just want to eat what you ordered but thank you for offering to share or ...See More

Shoe recommendations

by Deb ms/IA

May 10, 2017

I need to look into shoes for gardening and for vacation (lots of walking). I teach in SAS and they aren't working very well and I garden in crocs but they are so sweaty. What are your favorite shoes for work, vacation and gardening?

Thanks!

AM Crocs for the garden and Birkenstocks all year round for work. When I used to walk all day for work I only wore Rockport Mary Janes. They were similar to these.

EXERCISE ROLL CALL - Wednesday

by jrod

May 10, 2017

Back to the gym today. Yesterday was spent running errands with my mother.

Today I increased the weights on most of my exercises but kept the reps the same. I was sore from Monday's workout but pushed myself a bit since I felt I was ready. I asked a woman I had seen following a weightlifting program about it today. She was very informativ...See More

Monroe County?

by teacher42

May 9, 2017

There don't seem to be many positions near where I am in Hernando County, so I was looking at Monroe Country recently and they just have a kazillion openings. So what's the deal? Low pay, high cost of living?
