Things look beautiful the way you have them; I always tell my kids, "A clean job site is a happy job site." <BR/><BR/>p.s. The bulletin board is awesome.

These teaching ideas all revolve around a newspaper article. On Saturday I posted about the winner of the Tour De France and suggested several ideas that could be done in classes. Today I posted about a series run in the L.A. Times about pollution. I'm hoping that teachers find these posts useful and comment to make them even better. I figured as yoiu begin the year, you might be interested in taking a look at it. <BR/><BR/>Andrew Pass<BR/>http://www.Pass-Ed.com/blogger.htmlAndrew Passhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03467297626934604339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-1154888513485886792006-08-06T14:21:00.000-04:002006-08-06T14:21:00.000-04:00Your before and after picts are so wonderful!

Now that I am in middle school, teaching with many elementary trained teachers, I am such a decorating dud in comparison.HappyChyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00586840416488114845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-1154884134229478902006-08-06T13:08:00.000-04:002006-08-06T13:08:00.000-04:00Cute little cuteness is a major requirement for el...Cute little cuteness is a major requirement for elementary teachers in NYC, for whom bulletin boards are more crucial than certain minor deities.<BR/><BR/>Living in the South sounds very good, except for the part about going back to work in the beginning of August.

The jury is still out, however, as I had to take conduct cuts THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.

Nice job, EHT. The parents and students have no idea what goes on behind the scenes. Pat yourself on the back and squeeze in some rest over what's left of the weekend: Monday's comin' quicker than you think!CaliforniaTeacherGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03765655907043136511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-1154796901446165732006-08-05T12:55:00.000-04:002006-08-05T12:55:00.000-04:00Thanks for sharing your room pictures.

Past kids praise of you is a great idea -- let's the new kids know that maybe there's hope this year that they'll feel that good about you by the end of the year. Very cool. And, the added value of letting former students and parents of former students reminisce about the good old days. Very cool idea!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02776482696203224923noreply@blogger.com
