Teacher Life

I have good intentions all the time, but teacher time is hard to find in a very busy life.  I started Google Classroom last spring and learned lots.  I made many mistakes but learned so much from them.  I finally got my set of  student chromebooks, and they are so amazing.  Last year I struggled with old laptops but believed in the electronic platform and used them everyday.  Today we have been in school for 2017-1018 school year 9 weeks and the Chromebooks have not been an issue one day.  Well okay, maybe the day I forgot to charge them.  I have transitioned from giving my High School math students sometimes 7 or 8 papers a day to NOT one sheet of paper.  In fact, during the first nine weeks of this year, I gave out a newsletter when I met my students nothing else so far.  I am not doing this to be paperless, I am doing it for it to be AWESOME to my students.  They can literally turn in their assignments from their bed at night.  I am going to make a promise to myself right now that I will try and post weekly and sometimes more depending on what is happening in my class.  Teacher Time often keeps me going along with my two children.  My son is a 20 year old college Jr and my daughter is a 15 year old hs sophomore.  I enjoy learning in fact I like to call myself a Life Long Learner, so I am going to blog about what I learn in my classroom.
