Do you want an opportunity to take part in research that could positively impact your students and your classroom? By participating in our short survey, you will be helping us collect data for a study investigating obstacles and feasibility of psychological recommendations. Because these scenarios may be similar to what you have seen in your classroom, your input is very valuable! Once you complete the survey, you will be eligible for a $25 gift certificate to reallygoodstuff.com. Please feel free to pass this along to your teacher friends and co-workers as we need as many responses as we can get! All responses are completely confidential and participation is optional.

I teach a creative movement class to 5-9 year olds. Currently I have six in the class and all of them are the most chatty kids!

Currently I have six in the class and all of them are the most chatty kids! Their stories care great, but elaborate and I swear they'd be happy enough just talking to me all hour but it's very hard to get things accomplished. Now, this may not seem like too difficult issue in a normal class, but this is a class based in imagination and self-expression so the work ignites this trait further, and in fact asks for it. The only things i can think of so far: - work to show them directly how our bodies can tell stories, and that I can hear them all better with my eyes. - use their storytelling and guessing games in the activities we do, keeping their brains creatively occupied. They are just so creayively quick, geniuses - that at 6 or 7 years old I can give them an abstract concept and it makes such sense to them that they embody it and boom a new image or old memory pops up. I've also used drawing at the end, and may add it in class somewhere. Just hard in a class where they are finally asked their opinion to then tell them to "be quiet!". Keeping it short does not work. They know I'm there to see and her them.
In the mornings like to project this game on the Smartboard for the kids to play. I let them team up and have a word war. They each pick a tank and have a limited amount of time to form a word from the letters (cannon balls) on the screen. Each letter (cannon ball) is worth a certain amount of damage. Kinda neat.

A sample from this week's prompts:
January 25:
The first winter Olympic Games opened in Chamonix, France, in 1924. It began the process of popularizing winter sports for ordinary people; prior to then, only very rich people (or those who lived in the mountains) skied. Do you like or participate in a winter sport, or would you like to learn one? Which one? Why that one? (If you are not interested in winter sports, tell why you feel as you do.)
The novelist W. Somerset Maugham (pronounced MÆHM) was born in 1874. He once wrote: “It is bad enough to know the past; it would be intolerable to know the future.” What about the future would you not want to know? Why?

I'm a NYC special education teacher with 8 years of experience. I'm certified in childhood ed, reading and sped. I will be relocating in a year or so due to my husband's job and planning to apply for WI teaching licenses. How is the teaching job market in Wisconsin, specifically in Green Bay, Appleton, Fondu Lac and Sheboygan?
