’Tis the season for cookies! In fact, I just had a cookie for breakfast. (Listen, we eat coffee cake and doughnuts for breakfast, so a cookie really isn’t a big stretch.) This Friday is National Cookie Day, and I know some neat ways to celebrate it in the classroom. Check out the following activities for…

I Need a New Car!
My car has character. And by character, I mean that the gas gauge doesn’t work; the fan only works on number 3 (it’s pretty much hurricane winds or nothing); the car needs new brakes and new tires; there are three separate oil leaks; plus there’s something wrong with the ignition switch so it randomly tells…
What’s for Lunch?
For lunch today, I’m going to do my usual half sandwich with cheese, turkey, and avocado. I might get some chips from the vending machine because sometimes you just need something crunchy to go with your sandwich. It all depends on whether I can scrounge enough change from the bottom of my purse (or mooch…

I Miss My Hour
I woke up this morning, and it was pitch black outside. I have a tough time getting out of bed on the best of days, but the darkness felt extra cruel this morning because my body thought it was 5:30 instead of 6:30 am. (To be honest, I’m a night owl. I think the best…
MATH (Mental Abuse to Humans)
I do not have a math brain. In fact, I often joke that I have to take off a sock to count to 11. You chuckle, but it’s not really that far from the truth. I was in third grade when I realized that I was never going to be the queen of mathematics. My…
