  10. @celinabrennan probably 22ish, not sure, one of the pieces I have to find out before I consider. These classes used to be about 10-12 stus
  11. @celinabrennan the model is already in place. I'd just be taking over. I've taught multi-age, I think that's why the arm twisting.
  12. School district twisting my arm to teach a school within school 5th-6th GT class. Thoughts? Pros/Cons?
  13. Oldest daughter back from college today ... hearing about all the drama of friends and the politics of student government. : ) #Fun
  14. @jenorr Depends on the school I think and the history of issues at that site.
  15. @jenorr This pretty common these days, especially starting about 5th grade.
  16. @jenorr Students might bring eggs, shaving cream, silly string, etc. to cause havoc the last days of school, so don't allow the container.
  17. @karlfisch Our sixth graders aren't allowed the last day or 2.
  18. @GoPro FYI - 5 GoPro cams going up to 100,000 feet to film Solar Eclipse Sunday: rgj.com/article/201205…
  19. @jgates513 Eclipses/astronomy are big part of our science curriculum as well.
