So what’s up with homework these days? Do you assign your students homework? Do you have a weekly homework plan? Does your school have a homework policy?

Book Drawing Countdown

My day got off to a bit of a shaky start. I overslept, jumped out of bed, and immediately stepped on my cat’s tail. Not a great way to start the morning!

One of the things I miss most about my classroom is the wonderful routine of decorating it to match the current season or holiday. I had so much fun creating the colorful bulletin boards, displays, and window decorations that gave my classroom a timely feel as well as an energizing face-lift.

As I write this blog entry, the clock before me is clicking closer to 10:00, and that means…snacktime. Every morning I take a short break and refuel.

It reminds me of snacktime with my second graders in California.
