Being a tutor/homeroom teacher

by Novel

Feb 21, 2017

I am overburdened by planning, teaching and assessing but the straw that is breaking my back is being a tutor. I have a group of 26 challenging 12-13 year olds. I seem to spend much time every day contacting parents by phone and email, recording attendance and achievement levels, following up on incidents, writing and amending reports, organising ...See More

After warm up, I hit my machines. Today I increased the weight or time of all my strength exercises.

Strength set 1, repeat 3 times --lat pull down, 50 lbs, 15 re...See More

Elaine/ret/IN JRod, those are some enviable numbers! Keep it up!

Only 3788 steps today; we spent most of the day in the car picking up DD and DGS at the airport. We did spend some time at the park--at 21 months old, he is just happy to run around and then go up the steps. Going down the slide is the cherry on top of the sundae! Love that little guy! ...See More

Middle School Teachers, what are your hour like?

by Snugs

Feb 20, 2017

I would especially like to hear from Social Studies teachers, but any subject will do. If you teach Middle School, how much time beyond your contract hours do you generally work in a week? I'm thinking about switching from elementary to middle school social studies, but want to have a good sense as to how time intensive teaching middle school is. I...See More

EXERCISE ROLL CALL - Sunday

by Elaine/ret/IN

Feb 19, 2017

We did lots of walking at our church women's getaway weekend with our amazing Midwest February weather. (Today I mistakenly wore my long-sleeved turtleneck-- overdressed.) Sadly, I'm sure this is not good for the fruit growers.

But, for me--8952 steps yesterday and 15,467 today! Instead of the usual February 19 scenario (long coat, boots,...See More

judycaret Sounds like fun exercise, Elaine.

I walked 9,500 steps this morning. It only sprinkled a little. We're supposed to have a huge storm tomorrow. Please hope with me for no damage.

2 story family room or great room

by Flacka

Feb 19, 2017

In a 2 story great room that opens to the second floor, are area rugs on hardwood enough to absorb the sound or is carpeting a better choice?

just me We have 18 foot ceilings open beamed in our family room. We also had this dilemma and opted instead for large area rugs so that we had more options. We are happy with the result. We also had the "silence" padding put under the hardwood floors and that made a huge difference.

judycaret 1. We combine our money. 2. We are reasonably happy about our spending. He spends too much on tools and I spend too much on clothes. 3. We are both frugal, as were our parents, though I give more now. 4. I think I'm an excellent money manager.
