    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

  • BTSN ’10: A New Shtick.
    Thursday was my 18th Back to School Night here. Some parents have seen my BTSN act a couple of times; I had all five kids from one family, so they got to see the bit a few times. I usually ad-lib most of it–I only have to kill 10 minutes each period–and still usually manage […]

  • A Rerun, Just to Keep the Streak Alive.

  • Bribery? Maybe. But Who Cares?
    At our first faculty meeting of the year, before school started, one of the items that came up was funding for our after-school “math lab” aimed at kids who are having “math issues.” (Don’t most all middle-schoolers have math issues? Just saying.) The math teachers were complaining that the kids who get sent there for […]
  • E-Reader Survey
    I posted earlier this month about reading books on my Palm. I bought several e-books this summer, and I really like being able to carry around a whole buncha books in the palm of my hand (pun intended). So here’s a survey, dear readers. I haven’t used the survey plug-in in quite a while, and […]
