| August 27, 2008 - 10:12 AM I am an experience classroom teacher of 16 yrs. I have been out of the classroom for 5 yrs. I have been working as a Reading First support teacher for the past 3 yrs. I am presently in my last semester of a Master"s in Early Childhood Education at Lincoln University. I will be reentering the classroom as first grade teacher. I"m excited and anxious to be working with children on a daily basis. Many things have changed since I had my own classroom. I hope this site and others will help me to catch up on those changes. One of those things is centers, I am familiar with them but do not know how to begin them. | ||||||||

| August 25, 2008 - 04:38 PM Sorry I had another quick question. Does anybody have any great ideas on how to teach students to appreciate, understand, and write poetry? My class has a new poem each week to work with. | ||||||||

| August 21, 2008 - 07:53 AM I am looking for good lessons on teaching the lesson cycle. | ||||||||
| August 17, 2008 - 09:33 AM Great website. I used the "I am" poem model from the language arts section of this site and adapted it to my grade 7 Math class. It was amazing. I did it once at the beginning of the year and then again towards the end. The difference in use of mathematical language was fantastic. Thanks to whoever submitted the idea. | ||||||||
| August 17, 2008 - 08:43 AM I"m looking for a specific type of algebra puzzle that I used about 5 years ago for my 5th graders. I can"t remember the name for these puzzles. Each sheet pictured a large scale in which 2 or 3 sets of shapes had to balance in terms of values. Kids were given clues to help them determine which shapes held which values. Does anyone know what these algebra puzzles are called? | ||||||||

| August 11, 2008 - 10:11 AM Hello! I am a first year teacher and am teaching 9th grade english. I was just informed that I will also be teaching journalism. I have ZERO experience in this area. Could anyone give me some advice, pointers, information, or places where I could resources. Thanks so much. | ||||||||
| August 11, 2008 - 09:47 AM It"s my first year teaching and I am in charge of the science curriculum for Kindergarten. Anyone have any ideas for a bulletin board for a unit on healthy habits (safety, hygiene, nutrition)? Thanks! | ||||||||
| August 10, 2008 - 05:07 PM I am trying to think of a great saying to put on my biology bulletin board, for 9th graders. I need some help, please!!!!! I only have a week before school starts, so I"m desperate for ideas. | ||||||||
| August 09, 2008 - 06:10 PM Special Education Help Please!!! Hi. I am a first year teacher and am getting ready to start teaching students with emotional disabilities. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on a good classroom "behavior" plan. In my student teaching experience I was in a resource classroom and gave a verbal warning before pulling a card on a four point system. However, I"ve been told by several educators that if I use the same system, my kids would lose all of their cards by 9 am. Does anyone have any suggestions as far as what type of "point" or discipline system to use with these students? I have grades 1-3, with a range of severe ADHD, autism, developmental delay, etc. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. | ||||||||
| August 09, 2008 - 04:15 PM Does anyone know where I might find some good (FREE) sample ELL Lesson plans? | ||||||||
| August 09, 2008 - 11:32 AM Hey, I am still searching for that specific workbook in which the teacher reads directions orally and the students follow those directions to create a page that has letters, numbers shapes and names in particular places on the page. I loaned mine and now it"s gone. | ||||||||
| August 08, 2008 - 03:16 PM I am wondering if anyone knows any good resources or websites that provide information/ideas for teaching in a bilingual (Spanish) Special Education classroom? | ||||||||
| August 04, 2008 - 06:29 PM This website is very informative. I will utilize this site when presenting ideas for professional development. It is very resorceful. | ||||||||
| August 04, 2008 - 02:46 PM I"m a first year english teacher (7th and 9th grade).This site is wonderful, thanks for all the great ideas. | ||||||||
| August 04, 2008 - 11:04 AM Hi I am a first year teacher and am excited yet scared... I am hopeful that I will be well prepared but am scared that I can not prepare enough?!? | ||||||||
| August 04, 2008 - 07:55 AM Oh, and for those first year teachers who are posting...congratulations! This year will be the hardest, and most memorable, of your career :) As for decorating, keep it simple and just remember to surround yourself with things that you enjoy looking at. You need your classroom to be a place that you actually WANT to be in this year. Choose colors that are fairly soothing (like blue and green), because there is sure to be enough action when the kids get involved. If you have any other specific questions, feel free to email me...I remember my first year clearly and also work at a teacher supply store, so I am pretty familiar with what is available :) Good luck, and happy planning! | ||||||||
| August 04, 2008 - 07:49 AM I am teaching 4th grade inclusion this year. It will be my 3rd year with 4th graders, and I am just starting to get a feel for what they this is "cool". Luckily, at this age, they are still looking to teachers as role models and listen (even when they seem like they aren"t) to absolutely everything that I say. My theme last year was "choices", and it went pretty well. The kids loved the idea that they had freedom to choose certain things for themselves (like books and seating arrangements, etc). This year, though, with the inclusion class I am going to go a little more general and just have a School of Rock theme. I have been maximizing on all of the Hannah Montana and Camp Rock "stuff" at the super stores for decorations. The good thing about this theme is that it will give me a place to start with working on self-esteem and acceptance with the variety of kids in my room. | ||||||||
| August 03, 2008 - 08:39 PM I am also looking for decorating tips and ideas. I am trying to get my classroom in order but it just seems overwhelming with everything that I need. Does anyone have any pointers as to the "must haves" for a 1st year teacher?? Thank! | ||||||||
| August 03, 2008 - 07:55 PM Hi--I will be a rookie teacher this year teaching 7th grade English/Language Arts. I am super excited but also very nervous. I would greatly appreciate any guidance, advice, pointers etc from tenured teachers. I would also like to chat with a fellow middle-school teacher to talk more about this age group in particular. Please contact me! | ||||||||
| July 31, 2008 - 03:20 PM I will be teaching world history for the 1st time. I need tips on plans, grading, etc. Please help. | ||||||||
| July 31, 2008 - 06:34 AM I have taught on an isolated native reserve in northern Ontario (Canada) for 6 years. I have always taught at the primary level, but am now moving to a new reserve to teach at the junior level (Grade 5.) I would appreciate any advice -- general or specific -- from experienced teachers on teaching at this level -- classroom management tips, evaluation, what kids this age consider "cool" or not. Thanks for any and all suggestions. | ||||||||
| July 30, 2008 - 09:44 PM Is anyone else teaching nonverbal special education students? If so I would love to chat and get some new ideas. | ||||||||

| July 27, 2008 - 06:22 PM Do any of you teachers have an ingenious way of removing glue stick (from hot glue guns) from cement walls? Do you have a better way than using glue guns to put up bulletin boards in the hallway? | ||||||||
| July 26, 2008 - 06:53 AM Looking for resource book-gives oral directions. Students have to place letters, numbers, figures in specific places on paper. At the end teachers shows original paper and students compare to see how well they listened. I had the book but lost it. Anyone know the title and how to get it. | ||||||||
