I am a contacting you from England and I wonder if you could help me.
Could you please tell me, do teachers write summer end of year reports to parents in your country.
If so, what format are these in and do they reflect the entire years subjects taught or are they a more general summary of a child’s year and achievements.

Next year I will be teaching a 3/4 combination. We do not give end of the year summaries per say. We have a reflective student led conference with a aportfolio presentation in late April for each parent to come to. The student is the presentor and shows a display of growth work in his/her portfolio from the beginning of the year to then. They have kept goal sheets and have dated goals as they accomplished them It is a wonderfully successful process, a great learning experience for all, and a much truer dipiction of the child as a learner. I also present ant assessments that the child has taken to show growth from the fall assessments to the spring. The final rankcard has a summary piece on the back that is also reflective of standards met and ares the student can work on thru the summer. I hope this helps. > > >

It uses the downward propulsion of the water to create forward motion, as a rocket does. These can be easily made by obtaining a 2-litre soda bottle, a rubber stopper to fit this bottle, preferably with a hole in the centre, however one can be made to fit the attachment of a bicycle pump. then just use a simple ringstand as a launchpad and pump the bottle filled with water until it is propelled upward. If you are talking about the pyrotechnic bottle rocket, flashpowder must first be prepared. A mixture of potassium perchlorate and aluminium powder must be used. Build a paper tube and wrap it in tape. Fill the tube with the powder mixture and insert a length of cannon fuse into the bottom. This fuse can be purchased at a firworks supply store. I hope you found this useful
Hi there, I'm a UMF graduate currently living in Georgia. I'm moving to Maine at the end of June. I'm getting a little nervous about finding a job because I'm not going to be avaible for a personal interview until July 1. I've applied to a lot of schools and I check [link removed]??

One thing to remember...many school's contracts don't require teachers to officially resign until the first of August so you will see openings well into the summer as some teacher's plans are not official until then.
Many of you may be in the same position that I am - left with a little bit of extra time during the summer and slightly underpaid throughout the year :) . I have found a terrific company that promotes a personal and environmental wellness line while compensating you for using their products and introducing them to others. It is NOT multilevel marketing! The company follows a consumer direct marketing approach while providing customers with safe, nontoxic, environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional household products.

I teach three sections of an Early Childhood Classroom Structure/Behavior Management class in the fall (with about 55-60 students total) I am looking for early childhood classroom teachers who would be interested in an "e" project where they would become an e-pal with one of my students discussing classroom management strategies/ philosophies/approaches that work/have not worked in the classroom. It would involve about 4-6 e-mails where my students would inquire about classroom management and then the "sharing" of specifics about a particular classroom. Is there anyone out there who would like to be an e-pal for a semester for this project? I would also ask you to reflect and share if/how the project impacted you.
If you retire, you get money from your retirement fund (for me it is KPERS). If I wanted to go back to teaching in another district I could and I'd still receive my retirement (well, it is my money) and in addition, the teacher's salary. If you move to another state, you would even have time to create another retirement fund. So, retiring just gives you access to your own money in addition to whatever else you earn. I retired at 53, but I have no intention of going back to teaching. I might if it works for me someday, but it isn't my intention.
I am a grade six/seven looping teacher. With the end of the year approaching, my team partner and I are discussing ideas for summer bridge assignments. We hope to make it relatively light work for the kids, yet still meaningful. We know many summer assignments are completed during the last week of the summer and want to avoid that, as well as finding hours of correcting when we return in the fall. Your thoughts are appreciated!
I am studying different behavior management styles to find a new one that I like for grade three. If you have the time..I'd love to hear what you do...thanks so much..

How implemented?

If you have the >> time..I'd love to hear what you do...thanks so much.. >> >> grade?third/fourth >> >> what system is like?I use several differenr systems depending on the group of kids. I have the word QUIET hanging on the wall in individual letters. I turn a letter over if the the room noise is high. One letter left at the end of the week earns a treat, your choice) All letters not turned over earns extra recess time, prize from the prize box, a movie that reviews a book or a favorite author. This Friday treat is always posted so they know what yhey're working toward. This has been a very effective method for 20 years. Very little effort on my part. I don't have to talk or point out the noise, I just move to the letter area and they make the choices from there. I also implemented table police last year for disruptive behavior at individual tables. One person is the table police for one week and gives out talking tickets to students that are disrupting others. They put the tickets in a middle container and they're handed to me before the lunch break. Each ticket is 5 min. off a recess. This can change according to your prefeerence. I implemented the program during nice weather and the desire to go out was a strong incentive. Kids loved this program. It gave the responsibility to them. They were a few discussions at the mediation table about the validity of some tickets, but this too was a healthy process. I kept track of the police on the board or achart so everyone got a chance. I have an individual warning and consequence method which is also very successful. The student is asked to pit their name on the board as a warning, a check mark next to the name is 5 min head down at recess, two checkmarks is 10 min, a third checkmark is a visit to the principal, a fourth checkmark that day is a letter home and a phone call from me.
I find the constant and most ideal method is to consistently reward the wonderful behaviors in your room. Put the effort into personal notes, verbal strokes, notes and phone calls to parents can turn an unruly classroom into a well oiled machine. The prize box is very attractive to all age levels and so are doing special jobs. I also find that whispering secret messages into the ears of certain students is a great motivator!

Many teachers are starting to discover the benefits of using scrapboking as a teaching tool. Here is a helpful links for teachers who want to learn more about this teaching method:
