Ever wonder where our gas money is going?
Nothing to do with teaching, but check this link out. Crazy. Saudi prince promises £5bn desert spire TWICE as tall as nearest rival being built Derek

Help me make the music of the…
Hmm. Mr. Webber’s Phantom of the Opera line doesn’t quite work since this was during the day. How about, “The hills are alive, with the sound of music…” Yep, that works better. If you haven’t guessed by now the position I subbed for today was music. Elementary music. Like most specials jobs in the district

Math dyslexia?
I have heard of dyslexia of course, but this is the first time I have heard of math dyslexia. Apparently this condition makes for a very hard time in math. One Florida teacher is finding that he may not be allowed to teach since he can’t pass a required basic math skills test due to
Back to drama
It was a little exhilarating to get back to the children’s drama this weekend. We had been off for over a month, partly due to Easter. So this weekend we were back with a vengeance, err- three of us were. I guess the other two were still on spring break or something. Fortunately the head
Toledo Zoo pics
As promised here are a few of the pictures from the Toledo Zoo. Just click on them for a larger image. It took me longer than I thought since I had to transfer the pictures one at a time (about 60 pictures!) from the phone memory to the card memory, so I could then take
Been a while
Well, it has been awhile since my last post, so I will have to pick up the pace. I had some insane idea that I would be able to post from my friend’s house when I was in Ohio for the last few days. Of course the opportunity to ask really never presented itself. If

Happy Easter!, continued
I just wanted to get that Godtube video up before continuing writing. I can’t believe it’s been three days since my last post (not counting the first Easter post of course!). Well, yesterday was a busy day. Friday was, well, Good Friday. Like a Good Friday should be, it was a very dreary day outside-

Happy Easter!
Okay, trying to make people say Resurrection Day instead of Easter is just pointless. If you’d like, Happy Resurrection Day! The celebration of Jesus Christ’s victory over death is upon us once again! Hallelujah! No, I wasn’t calling you over, Hallelujah (private joke: there is a boy named Hallelujah in one of the classes I
Can’t we all just get along?
This was a favorite line of one of my past coworkers. Speaking of coworkers, this isn’t a story about students not getting along- it’s about two middle school teachers! Someone tell these two that they’re supposed to be role models! Click link for story. Teachers Who Got in Fist-Fight Arrested And just so I don’t
