coloring

by 3rd grade

Mar 3, 2015

We have recently been told not to allow students to "color" any part of their work, and nothing can be hung up that is not a formal writing piece that has gone through the complete writing process, and is free from errors. Essays must be 3-5 paragraphs in length, and have an attached rubric, appropriate feedback, and the final copy should...See More

3rd grade Sadly, it has not been better. The chance for a child to "shine" with the 6+1 writing traits (the 6th one being "presentation") has been stripped, and we forge ahead in a colorless school, where lined paper and paragraphs fill hallways and classrooms. Art is not welcome, and certainly not permitted. Any "HINT" of color...See More

Classroom schedule

by Lost

Aug 10, 2015

I have noticed that as teachers we are not given a class schedule we make our own. I feel so scared and lost because college did not prepare me as well as I though it would. Any valuable online resources or someone willing to help a newbie teacher out!?

(For instance, 300 minutes a week for math, 890 minutes a week for language arts, 60 minutes a week for Science, etc.)

Then figure out when school starts, recess break, lunch break, and any special classes your students will go to with another teacher (PE? Art? Library time? Computer? Music?)

Then use a grid chart that has each day mapped out across the top and the 15 minute or half hour time intervals on the side and plan out when you want the allotted times done during the week.

My recommendation is to put Math and Language arts in the morning before lunch, or before recess, when kids are alert. Put secondary subjects like social Studies and Science in the afternoon.

Your special classes times might be given to you and you may not have any control over that.

Hope this helps!

3 Attributes of a Great Principal

by Teachers.Net Gazette

Aug 25, 2015

Teachers.Net teachers listed 3 (sometimes more) attributes of a great principal. (We were especially struck by the 2 shortest entries, those posted after "Mutual respect and trust needs to be nurtured," about 3/4 of the way down the page.)

What would you add to the list?
