Best Teaching Advice for New Teachers

I was reading not long ago an article on Education Week about the best advice for new teachers. The article had many good points, but my I would like to emphasize this one:

Watch other teachers teach. You will probably have to arrange this yourself. But do it, even if it means taking a fake sick day in November to watch colleagues in another school. Do it during your planning period, too. Good teachers will be flattered when you ask permission to sit in their classes for a half-hour. Once you watch a dozen other teachers, you'll have a baseline for measuring your own successes and screw-ups, plus a basket of field-tested techniques. 

It is all about growing and learning everyday. Do not get stuck. Your teaching techniques will get rusty as you get too comfortable in your room thinking that you know everything. 

Fellow teachers give us your opinion about the best piece of advice you ever got. You can join this amazing Linky party at Dragonflies in First and share with us all your opinions. 

Greatest Women in History

“It turned out that the hair grew quickly and I learned slowly. As a result, I cut off the hair in punishment for my head’s ignorance, for it didn’t seem right to me that a head so naked of knowledge should be dressed up with hair, for knowledge is a more desirable adornment,”

—from The Reply to the Very Illustrious Sor Philotea de la Cruz, written in 1691

 Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz is considered the first great Latin American poet and one of the most important Hispanic literary figures. She wrote following the complex style of the Spanish Golden Age masters, particularly Luis de Góngora y Argote, and produced some of the most beautiful sonnets in the Spanish language, while excelling also as a dramatist. 

Sor Juana was published in different parts of the Hispanic world during her lifetime and she enjoyed the reputation of being the premiere Baroque poet in New Spain (Mexico), which earned her both praise and vicious misogynistic attacks. Sor Juana was persecuted for being an intellectual and a woman, a nun, and a writer who wrote quite provocatively in the very Christian New Spain of the 1600s.

My Teacher Wishlist for Next Year

I am getting excited about ordering things for next year. For whatever reason, I was a bit left out of the party last year so I want to come back strong this one.

My favorite 5 things to order are:

1. An electronic sharpener. Look at this one. I love it. It is the Wescott iPoint.

 

  2. Erasers. When I was a kid at school I loved erasers. There was a brand Milan that I really liked. Unfortunately, they are not around anymore. My second choice is.. The Pencil Grip.

 

 

 Don't you love them? And ...

3. A school supply caddy..

 

 Isn't is gorgeous? I have been looking for one for years. 

And this is it.

What about you?        

     What do you have in your wishlist?              

Meeting Up with Other Teacher Bloggers

Fonts 4 Teachers is meeting with fellow bloggers Teacher to the Core and Second Grade Sparkle, and whoever wants to join us. Apparently, the meeting place will be in Southern California, to be exact in beautiful Orange County. The tentative date is March 23 at 12:00 pm.

My only fear is that I think I will be the only guy there. So hopefully some other male teacher bloggers join us and have a blast. Well anyways the idea is awesome and we can learn a lot from each other.

Think of joining us!

Great Science Project for the Classroom

I am linking to 2nd Grade Pad for her Mad Scientist Day and Falling into First.


 


 Today I was working with my first grade class on the physical properties of things: liquids, gasses and solids.

It was a lot of fun. Students where really engaged and came up with fabulous pictures. One student came to me saying, all serious, that he wanted to be a scientist. He wanted to invent a machine to make chocolate candy. What about that?

Today we are going to reflect on what we did today. It was an awesome activity.

See the ideas that they came up with.  What do you think of my class now?
