Today I decided I'd break ground and start a Twitter account, as well as start blogging again. While this account will focus a lot on teaching, I will throw in a few recipes every once in a while, since cooking/baking is my other passion besides learning and teaching.
I've learned that the only way to deal with some interesting allergies and intolerances is to listen to my body and make food for myself (or eat really really good expensive food at restaurants). This connects directly with my opinion on teaching students--while I can fight the obvious, in all honesty, listening to my students and taking their cues and fixing my actions rather than taking it out on them is much more successful.
Case in point: Fifth grade. Oy vey, fifth grade. They have given me so much trouble and headache. Today was different. Our 45 minute class period today was scheduled and full the entire way through. The students were learning, taking notes, and filled out exit tickets that showed me they had been listening. The students had valid questions, and were focused. Their teacher was shocked and excited...and so was I.
Please stay tuned for more. I'll try to post as often as I can...or when something goes amazingly well/awesomely horrible.
Ms. Book Lady (The moniker I've taken for myself in the cyber world. A kindergartner once whispered blushingly to his mother while pointing to me "mom, that's the lady who loves books"...and book lady was born.)
