- Normal people flirting: Hey, you're cute we should go out sometime!
- Me trying to flirt: So, do you like bread?
- I am pretty sure I would respond better to: "So, do you like bread?"

I’m spending the next two weeks in a year 2/3 class. They are so cute! It’s a completely different world to secondary school/teaching.
Free websites help boost student engagement, teacher productivity | eSchool News →

Cash-strapped schools can’t stop giving students the resources they need to learn and develop 21st century skills simply because budgets are tight. Luckily, educators can turn to free online resources to help them find and organize lesson plans, give students extra help in various subjects, and more.
During a webinar on EdWeb.net, an educational social networking site for teachers and administrators, presenter Shannon Holden, a former teacher and assistant principal, and adjunct instructor at Lindenwood University and Missouri State University, shared a number of free online resources to help educators take advantage of what the internet has to offer.
Many educators “don’t know where to start” when it comes to finding, learning about, and really using free online resources, Holden said. “Most people just do not have the time to learn all of these technology tools,” he added.
Holden suggested that those educators pick one or two websites of interest and start exploring them. Users can turn to YouTube for website tutorials if they need help.
“Don’t wait for the next big thing in technology before you jump in–there’s always going to be a next big thing,” he said. “It’s just amazing that all this stuff is free, and we don’t use it because we don’t have time to find it.”
Here is a round-up of Holden’s web recommendations:
Team Teachers: Summer Book Club? →

I will happily host another summer book club this summer if there at least 10 people that commit to buy or borrow the book and participate. I’d also be looking for someone interested in splitting the duties of coming up with discussion questions with me.
Please let me know what you think…

I’m going back to school this week!!!! I couldn’t be more excited. I’m going to act as a teacher aide for one of my mentor teachers. Fingers crossed I will actually get to teach a little bit as well.
I voted!
