Middle School: You don't have to be crazy to teach middle school, but it helps! June 23, 2016. Oh my goodness, it’s been way too long! Somehow, life got in the way of my blogging. First, my in-laws were struggling and we had to take over the finances and medical stuff (read lots and lots of doctors appointments! Then, my father-in-law passed away and we had to deal with that, selling two houses (both filled to the rafters with stuff – major hoarders here! How did we select these students? To start the ye...

Middle School: You don't have to be crazy to teach middle school, but it helps! Power Points for Reading Street 6th Grade. I also post these on my class website for parents and students to access. In addition, I’ve printed all of them off as handouts. I’ll keep those handouts in a binder, allowing me to refer to the slides quickly and easily, leave it for a sub, or run a copy for a special needs student. I’ll be posting more power points in the near future; the plan is to have all six units here. Current...

Middle School: You don't have to be crazy to teach middle school, but it helps! December 5, 2014. United States Social Studies Projects. As we study the United States in my class, we’ve been using projects to demonstrate learning. This has actually been quite a challenge for my students, who are used to worksheets with fill in the blank or multiple choice questions. We then moved on to the South. As they studied the South, we watched a video about the Appalachian Trail. This fascinated my classes. Using ...

Middle School: You don't have to be crazy to teach middle school, but it helps! February 20, 2017. Team Endeavor – a different kind of classroom. This year, I was given the opportunity to try something new for some of our at-risk sixth graders. We handpicked 20 of them for a class. This class is completely different from the normal 6th grade classroom. Second, for the most part, I try to avoid assigned seats, although after they were such a problem for my last sub, I did assign seats for the week! Third,...

Middle School: You don't have to be crazy to teach middle school, but it helps! February 25, 2015. Creating a Tour of Canada. Sorry it’s been a while – life got in the way. Here’s what my classes have been up to:. Now that we’ve got some background knowledge, it’s time for a little fun! I simply have each table group gather their folders at the end of the hour, then bring me the stack. Each group of folders goes in a hanging folder in a crate. The next day, I give the stack back to the table and ...I als...

Middle School: You don't have to be crazy to teach middle school, but it helps! November 17, 2014. United States Social Studies Ideas. For the first time in a lot of years, I’m teaching social studies. It’s actually been kind of fun. After 2 years of teaching a highly scripted curriculum, the idea that I can plan my own lessons is quite liberating! Then, we started with the Northeast United States. The formula I’ve found for studying each region is:. I also started the first quiz handback giving students...

Middle School: You don't have to be crazy to teach middle school, but it helps! Monthly Archives: July 2016. July 2, 2016. Working Fun into the Learning. One thing I’m hoping to change next year is my students’ attitudes toward school. They, as a class, tend to view school as something to “get through” so you can spend lunch with your friends, or go home and do what they want. Week two will be a mystery Skype. If you haven’t heard of Mystery Skypes, they’re basically a chance for classroo...Week three wi...
