Only 2000+ steps yesterday. Habitat did grocery bagging for a local store (we get a portion of the $$ intake for the day). And, I went to "La La Land" at the library's free showing in the afternoo...See More

judycaret Yes, I do revere the reservoir, Elaine. Too bad I can't post a pic here. I walked it again today and loved listening to my book and enjoying nature.

EXERCISE ROLL CALL - Saturday

by men52

May 6, 2017

I was able to get in a cycling class early this morning and it was a tough one. This class had mainly hard core cyclists who discussed marathons and body building and was just a serious group of athletes. I got in 20.1 miles in which is a lot more then usual. I thought I would get some gardening done with the sunny skies after waking up to more rai...See More

I walked around the reservoir with a friend I hadn't seen in a while. Fun. Gorgeous weather right now, not too hot.

Not Reappointed

by Stressed Out

May 5, 2017

I am completing my 2nd year as a DoD teacher. I have been told I will not be reappointed next year. My most recent evaluation was last month and it (like all previous ones) was spotless. I am being told I am not being invited back because I don't get along with a few other staff members. My evaluations say that I work well with supervisors, student...See More

The DODD link only shows up in the left if you visit the DODD board. This post was made to the main teacher chatboard, which explains why it's not on the DODD chatboard.

Fidget Spinner

by Anonymous Regular

Apr 26, 2017

What's the deal with the fidget spinners? I get that kids need to fidget but not if they are so busy playing with it that they don't listen to simple directions!

Oops, this one. Old Regular Exactly, what I mean. Leave the toys at home. If I see it, I will confiscate it. Simple. If we let them show up at school we open ourselves up to the problems. Haves and have nots, stealing, playing instead of listening... No matter if they are good for focus, I will decide if you need something to help you focus in my classroom; it's not a child's...See More

Lunch in classroom

by Jasped

Apr 28, 2017

A lot of charter schools are doing away with cafeteria and having students eat lunch at their desk. I think this is an awful practice and know that a cafeteria is unused classroom space. How do other teachers feel about this practice

My kids attended Montessori school No lunchroom/cafeteria. The kids could eat at one of the outside picnic tables, in a tree, on a bench, in their classroom or the classroom of a friend or sibling. They loved that and were sad when they went to public school for high school that they were crowded into a noisy environment. Come to think of it, I don't know of any private schools that...See More

Wow--what a reversal from yesterday: beautiful bright sunshine and brisk wind to dry up yesterday's rain!

Perfect for a bracing walk to two errands. Spring is beautiful in Indiana! 10,498 steps.
