Reminds me of a "whole staff activity" of a couple years ago We were supposed to do some kind of similar multi-intelligence vocabulary exercise with the students every day, all at 10 AM or some such thing. I don't remember all the details, but yep, we were supposed to have the kids draw a picture for each new vocabulary word and so forth.

I don't remember all the details, but yep, we were supposed to have the kids draw a picture for each new vocabulary word and so forth.

It fell through pretty quickly, because the kids were confused, the teachers were annoyed, and whoever's bright idea it was got embarrassed wandering from room to room making sure every teacher was in compliance.

Good luck with all those student drawings of explicit inappropriate encounters, by the way.

Apology to field trip supervisor

by Kim

Apr 18, 2009

I witnessed this several years ago when I was a supervisor for a school field trip. Upon arriving back at the classroom, another supervisor informed the teacher of misbehaviour by one student. Unfortunately, not knowing the student's name, he could only identify him by what he was wearing. The teacher, known to be a Toronto Maple Leafs fan, calls t...See More

Jay (II) What better place to have a "misfire" but on the quips section, lol.

In my early childhood Special Education preschool I have a little girl who is constantly saying things to keep us in stitches. Her sincerity and innocence just make the her word choices much more precious.

I use lots of music and of course Dr. Jean. Everyday we ...See More

I am retiring this year and moving away to another state after 33 years! I want to find the right words or poem to say at my retirement party. Any ideas? I am a speech and language teacher.

Last year I did a cute "skit" on appropriate back to school clothing for teachers. One of my staff modeled as I decked her out with an umbrella hat for rainy days, a big furry shawl for cold days, funny boots, a toy spy listening device for hearing...See More

Fact: We salesmen believe we can sell anything

by Dale

Jun 24, 2009

My confidence was put to the test recently in a hotel lobby.When the doors to the elevator opened,it was packed with women.I walked in,flashed a big grin,and said,"Looks like tonight is my lucky night.'"Don't count on it,"said a voice in the back."We're all nuns."
