#MTBosBlaugust - The Straw that Broke the Camel's Back

Right now, this feels like a selfie, and not a free pic from a Google Search. Honestly, I feel like the camel must feel, but I feel like I pulled the load without the wheels today. Today was the last official day of summer for me. Tomorrow is mandatory arrival, but today was out of the goodness of my heart and out of the desperation to have a decent looking room for the kids who are joining me on Monday. It was to have been a zip in, zip out kind of day. You know the kind of day when you get dressed in three minutes, your hair is suspect and you put on makeup and hope for the best because your alarm clock was incorporated into your dream? (Or is that just me). That's what today was to have been for my class. Everything would look good and ready, but nothing is truly ready. It just looks good. That was the goal. Come home, chill out, head to the dentist and recline for the evening. Alas, not so. My posters may well h...

Theme Work Makes the Dream Work

Pinterest is inundated with amazing classroom themes. This time of year, many blogs, especially those of Elementary teachers are all abuzz with pictures of their amazing classrooms and themes. People are so clever. I love to see their talent on display. I started out in Elementary and have had the privilege of teaching throughout all ages of the school system with some stints as an administrator in between. When people hear me talk about my classroom theme, they are always surprised to hear that I am a high school Math teacher. Always. Can you guess what my theme this year might be? All aboard to find out the what and the why. I'm sure you'll want my justification and explanation for my investment in my class environment. That's right. (Insert your own train whistle here). Our theme this year is railroad travel. We are traveling across the North American continent via train. As you c...

Devotional Thought - On Your Knees

Recent news coverage has been plastered with taking the knee. The NFL has been waffling on the way in which they handle the behavior of the players who kneel during the showing of the colors and the National Anthem. Those who kneel state they are protesting racial inequities from the police department. Those who watch the games are offended by the disrespect shown to first responders, veterans, soldiers and police- many of whom were witnessing the disrespect first hand. It makes me consider the Scripture, James 5:16, " Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." This is the kneeling our nation needs. We, as a people, are inundated with bad news, natural disasters, troubled youth and school systems, dishonesty, shootings, and wrongdoing in places you would never expect. These troubling times need good people to stand for right and to take to...
