Fellow teachers:
I think you should all read some very important information posted by DorisTLC here (click on the link). This is a serious concern for all of us who teach. We need to consider taking the issue personally and contacting our legislators. --------------------  click the Q "And, if there is need to speak in brief summary of this power, we shall find that none of the things which are done with intelligence take place without the help of speech, but that in all our actions as well as in all our thoughts speech is our guide, . . ."

Hi all! OK, um, I'm not a teacher yet; I'm in school to become one. Can I still post in here? I'm really interested to talk to you all and read your posts. I want to get as much input as possible regarding teaching. I'm actually going to be a secondary biology teacher (though I'm still trying to think how I can fit Harry in there somewhere
 ). However, I'm applying to an Americorps program to be an elementary school literacy tutor/teaching assistant for 2009-2010. Cross your fingers for me! And I just have to say this: QUOTE(Mused @ Aug 12 2008, 05:29 PM)  I'm starting a Music Appreciation course at our high school this year. My textbooks just came in- "The Enjoyment of Music", 10th edition. Well, you know how texts like to intersperse relevant quotations from notable cultural figures? On the back cover of the book and right above the introduction is: "Ah, music... a magic beyond all we do here." - Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry How awesome is that? ...is probably the most incredibly awesome thing ever. EVER. -------------------- |

Haha...acutally sort-of...  One of my good friends went through her whole M.A.T. program and student teaching, then decided not to be a teacher (and I heard all the details the whole time). One of the reasons that I'm hoping to get the literacy tutor job is that it's in the inner city schools here in St. Louis (which are...rough...), and I want to get some real world experience there since I may end up teaching in the city schools in the end.

Thanks, wordsaremagic! It was two years ago on winter break from school that my young one and I sat down to read SS together (the first time for both of us), beginning this wonderful journey.
 Last year I think we started reading DH over winter break (we waited a bit until the maturity of the reader caught up with the subject matter). This year I have checked out Inkheart hoping that we can continue the tradition, though Young One is getting a bit old to want to be read aloud to. I am going to try, though!  Best wishes to all for a joyous holiday and a fun-filled winter break! --------------------  Jo's Book Nook is now discussing Noel Streatfeild's Ballet Shoes! Click here to join us! ...........

It was two years ago on winter break from school that my young one and I sat down to read SS together (the first time for both of us), beginning this wonderful journey. Inkheart is pretty good. My grandkids and I have also enjoyed the Percy Jackson series. It's a kind of upside down spoof and tribute to all Greek mythology.
