  1. @mattharmless It's like that sometimes. I hear this Thursday/Friday will be GREAT days to be a teacher. ;-)
  2. I wonder if people who think teachers shouldn't SELL lesson plans have ever considered that teachers shouldn't have to BUY lesson plans.
  3. Great idea from @misterlamb: writing report card comments FOR students instead of ABOUT them: http://ow.ly/D9gA
  4. @sisypheantask Thanks for tweeting the teacher lolcats I posted--glad you enjoyed! The rest are here: http://tinyurl.com/d3co7a
  5. @hrmason No, it was perfect! I wasn't looking for positivity, but honesty. You moved beyond triteness and thought deeply about parenthood.
  6. New on the blog: Does parenthood make you a better educator? Thanks, @hrmason, I've included the info u tweeted. http://tinyurl.com/y89l8en
  7. For a blog post: Does parenthood make u a better educator? Are ed policy makers more effective if they're parents? Please share ur thoughts!
  8. Am I the only one who dreads NaBloPoMo? Isn't it better (or at least more merciful to ur readers) to blog only when u have something to say?
  9. Great idea for prying some of that Halloween candy away from your kids before a diabetic coma ensues: http://tinyurl.com/y9x9lhb
  10. Told my kids I'll be in a mtg tomorrow from 8-11. The reply: "You'll be gone for 3 hours?!" OMG, they're finally understanding elapsed time.
  11. I always feel like a witch correcting kids for inopportune laughter: "Is that JOY I hear during WORK TIME? Bah! No having fun in MY class!"
  12. Breaking up is hard to do: the story of my love affair with Twitter. http://tinyurl.com/y8v2jc7
  13. Can the right kinds of play teach self-control? Fascinating NY Times piece on developing this critical skill. http://tinyurl.com/yenrfgw
  14. At last--our wedding pictures are finally posted on Facebook! http://tinyurl.com/cv76xe
  15. Had a mentee say my advice postponed her nervous breakdown by another week. Now that's real. :) Sometimes surviving another week IS success.
  16. @PriscillaShirer Re: the conv w/ your son about Twitter: yes, we are reading, & yes we care. Thanks 4 blessing us @ Deeper Still this wkend.
  17. Social problem solving: end the tattling cycle by teaching kids how to respond to peer correction (from my blog http://tinyurl.com/qh7ofu)
  18. Motivation, creativity, and why Sir Ken is wrong (kind of): check out this thoughtful post from @paulbogush: http://blogush.edublogs.org/
  19. One 8 y.o. boy to another: "Hah! I ran faster than you!". Reply: "Well, YEAH, I haven't REALLY been working out."
  20. So exhausting to be a teacher on the first day of school. Got a jury duty notice in the mail today & my 1st thought was: YES! I get to SIT!
