Hey there,
Just wanted to say I really like your teaching style and thanks for the teacher site. This is my second year teaching 6-8th grade Language Arts. I work at a school in Van Nuys, CA, and our middle school program is textbook free our students are 1:1 with computers, so any additional resources I can find and add to my collection is great!

Thanks,
Robin

Thank you so much for the kudos. 25 years? Wow. That goes back to the 80′s stylie. You probably saw the movie when it came out! That’s a lot of cheese. The novel isn’t far removed from those times. Isn’t it funny when you do the math like that for the kids? “Whoa…how do you know this book so well?” Well, duh. My math works out like this: 15 (years teaching the novel) X 5 (periods per year) + 4 or 5 times when I was a lad = about 80. I figure we’re pretty even

I also like to do the math for the kids when they complain if I lag on returning essays. “Let’s see, you probably want me to spend at least, well, 6 minutes on each one. There are 140 of you. What’s 6 times 140?” Pause, wait 1/2 hour, ignore wrong guesses, then… “Yes, 840 minutes. How many hours is that?” Repeat previous procedure. “Yes, 14 hours. I don’t know about you, but I have a life.”

Thanks again for the kind words.

Hey Mr. C. I am just finished up reading The Outsiders for the 75th time (3 times a year for 25 years) and I have watched the movie that many times or even more. I just want to give you a shout out for your fantastic blog and web page and I like the new look.
