The beginning of the school year is always so busy. I teach 5year olds - Prep - 1st year of school. I can't even remember the first couple of weeks of the year. It's a blurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Cheers Nina - I'll remember to have lunch next year.

Let’s face it. When school starts, we all face anxiety – the student, the parents, and the teacher. It is a stressful time because we are facing the unknown. The student usually doesn’t know the teacher or the new rules and may even be facing a new school. The parents don’t know what their child will be facing or if their child will be able to succeed. The teacher doesn’t… Continue

Last Day Reflections
I wrote a blog post on my Successful Teaching blog (http://successfulteaching.blogspot.com/2009/07/last-day-reflections.html) about the class that I just finished teaching. It was a grad class called Nature of Learning Disabilities. I tried to incorporate technology into my lessons. I hope I haven't overwhelmed them though. I am supervising the Practicum in LD starting Monday. I have five teachers and 20 students so keep your fingers crossed that everything goes well this month!

Upstate Technology Conference 2009
I attended the Upstate Technology Conference last week and learned so much. I learned a lot from attending the sessions but I also learned a lot from networking with others. People came from all around the state to attend this conference. I was really surprised how much it has grown because when it first started four years ago, there were only 200 people who attended and this year there were 1000. I wrote more about the conference in my Successful Teaching blog and will write more about it tomor… Continue

You think you can drink it all away.
I know you feel it's not a big deal,
but i will take this to my grave,

Hi Daniel, I think you've learned a thing or two by doing the 25 days to make a difference program. It's a great lesson to learn at your age. Thank you for sharing your reflections with us.
This is a post that was submitted by Daniel, one of my grade 5 students. The students have been challenged to write about their efforts to do at least one good deed per day, but Daniel took it a step farther and reflected on why we're doing this i...

As the students are preparing their reflections and writing responses to Three Cups of Tea, I have found it to be very interesting the connections they have made. The text to world, text to self and text to text connections are unique and personal...

Stranger's Shoes
Take me in the month of May to the meadow
Where the grass is cool and green,
The prettiest picture I've ever seen
And that cold concrete can't scratch my feet
and I can lay and pray
and maybe find some sweet relief
You know I'v...
