I spent the summer in the Dominican Republic volunteering at an orphanage. They are wanting to assess the children on their English reading level but have no way of doing so. Does anyone work at a school that is getting rid of old leveled readers? Or does anyone have suggestions of where I might be able to look? I know the children at these orphanages will GREATLY appreciate this. Any help/advice would be appreciated. Thank you! :)

With increasing internet users in a global scale, every child has the right to have access to it and learn the basics of computer and internet technology because they now live and move with computers wherever they go. As educators and parents, it is our responsibility to make the learning process fun, simple and enjoyable for them to seek more knowledge as they grow.
Here's to help you developing simple presentations.
Just visit FPPT site with lots of presentation templates or tools you can use for your kids or your students.

I'm interested in hearing the opinion of others on the use of technology in the Early Childhood setting. Do you support it or do you discourage it?

It amazes me that the older the student the more like they are uinable to follow directions. A simple direction, such as open your books to p. 271 become tougher to perform. As I look at my seniors, I wonder how they ever survived.

Reading Logs and Vocabulary cards are rituals every elementary school kid has to participate in. These consume large volume of paper with little ROI.
Online creation and submission may cut-down on paper usage. Please take a look at www.readinglogs.com - it is a free site that allows students/teachers to track reading, vocabular and spelling skills online.
Are there other sites? if so please add to the post so we can cut down on paper usage in the classroom. Thanks

School does not feel the same this year. I teach in a self-contained Emotional Disability classroom, which is always stressful, but the start of this year has been overwhelming. Overall I enjoy what I teach and my students, but as I sit here I dread walking into my classroom in the morning. The thing that makes teaching in my classroom so difficult this year is that I have such a range of abilities. The majority of my students are learning at the same level, but I have 2 students that are well below grade level and are extremely immature. I have attempted a few well known "tricks," such as binder instruction, but if I have them work independently, they fall apart, OR if I work with the lower students and use binders for my higher functioning students, then they fall apart. I am running around like a chicken without a head. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Like the idea of this site. Late in life got myself a career...or so I thought. Relocated to a new state in my fourth year as a teacher. Still looking for my "place" and feeling very frustrated with this age of online applications. What an easy way for employers to disciminate. They see your age, sex, and race! Who can say that you are denied empluement for those reasons since you don't see any one face to face. Anyone who can "help" me figure out the edge needed to impress reviewers of these online applications please spill the beans or my new found career is dead in the water before it even began. So much for "giving back" cause we all know we don't do this for the money!!!

Start of my 15th year, and I'm utterly depressed. Math, GT, and Special Ed have managed to kill block scheduling while RTI and "acuity testing" have effectively wiped out our Advise classes. In the blink of an eye, a third of what I loved about our school is gone ... just POOF! Drop affective programs and character education in favor of math assessment ... we're now a middle school in name only! <sigh> I guess we just keep on keepin' on. It still sucks!!!

As summer winds down, I must say I'm not terribly excited about the new school year.

Trying to cover all the objectives prior to those unavoidable testing dates is almost impossible. I found that integrating is the KEY to teaching all those objectives and this is true at all levels not just 5th grade. I find that integrating helps me, cover more in less time. It also allows more time for students to process, analyze and re-teach concepts they have learned. The students also do more then I do. This is always good for the teacher.

This blog will allow me to share struggles, discoveries and adaptations of my life to an unfamiliar and poorly understood health condition.

After being interviewed by the school administration, the prospective teacher said:
'Let me see if I've got this right.
'You want me to go into that room with all those kids, correct their disruptive behavior, observe them for signs of abuse, monitor their dress habits, censor their T-shirt messages, and instill in them a love for learning.
'You want me to check their backpacks for weapons, wage war on drugs and sexually transmitted diseases, and raise their sense of self esteem and personal pride.
'You want me to teach them patriotism and good citizenship, sportsmanship and fair play, and how to register to vote, balance a checkbook, and apply for a job.
'You want me to check their heads for lice, recognize signs of antisocial behavior, and make sure that they all pass the final exams.
'You also want me to provide them with an equal education regardless of their handicaps, and communicate regularly with their parents in English, Spanish or any other language, by letter, telephone, newsletter, and report card.
'You want me to do all this with a piece of chalk, a blackboard, a bulletin board, a few books, a big smile, and a starting salary that qualifies me for food stamps.
'You want me to do all this and then you tell me. . . I CAN'T PRAY?
That is the job teachers are expected to do!

I decided to blog about my days as a kindergarten teacher at the Indiana School for the Deaf. It's a late start (fourth quarter) to my first year, but better late than never!

A compilation of funny, histerical, ridiculous, noteworthy student sayings or comments. (Who knows, if we get enough, we might publish them in a book.
